I'm a landscape and nature photographer from Germany now living in San Diego, California. I'm passionate about photography and have always considered the digital darkroom an essential part of the creative process of digital photography. Beyond that, Lightroom is an incredible tool for managing a digital photo library, and I've developed a workflow that everyone can adopt to stay ahead of their growing photo collection in Lightroom.

I love generously sharing my knowledge about Lightroom and Photography and the positive feedback I have received from workshop participants and individual students makes me confident that I'm the right person to help you. It doesn't matter whether it is solving a specific problem or establishing an individual workflow in Lightroom, or learning about your camera and exposure.

I'm an Adobe Lightroom user since version 1 of the software, which was introduced in 2007. I also teach classes on Lightroom workflow and photo editing for the San Diego Photo Club at the MOPA San Diego. I have been a landscape and nature photographer since 2007, and a professional photographer since 2011. I'm most familiar with Nikon cameras, but as long as it has a shutter, an aperture and some dials, I know how to use it! :)

Outstanding photography tutor

This was my first experience with online tutoring and I wish I'd looked into it sooner. Alex was super-responsive before our actual session and was just full of key pieces of information that connected dots for me on things like cloud storage, Lightroom functionality, and post-processing. He set up a Zoom session and once we were on it worked flawlessly with my iPad Pro which is where I'm doing my editing. I really can't imagine a better tutor or more effective use of time. Alex is very highly recommended!

Truly incredible tutor

My lesson with Alexander was great: he solved all my technical issues, addressed every question I had with knowledge, intelligence, and humor, and was a great communicator. Thanks!

Adobe LR guru!

Alex helped me quickly organize my Adobe LR mess that I created. He helped me with my workflow process and gave me invaluable tips that I’ll use going forward. Definitely going to book with Alex again, so helpful.

Professional

Very knowledgeable and professional. Took his time to make sure I understood the process of LRC. I was having issues with Lightroom and Alex was able to give great direction on the issues I needed help with. I’ll be contacting Alex for more sessions going forward. He’s very patient and makes sure he understand your issue. Great instructor!

Lightroom help

I have been working with Alex for over a year to consult on Lightroom Challenges. Alex’s knowledge of Lightroom is extensive. His demeanor is kind and patient. He is definitely my “go to” person when consulting on Lightroom.

Amazing teacher!

In my first session with Alex, he was able to clean up the mess I had made of my Lightroom library, which was no small task! Then, he patiently went through step by step how to properly find where my photos were stored on my MacBook, how to import them into LrC, and how to organize them, rate them, and export a collection of my favorite photos for a friend to view them. I've already signed up for another session to learn how to use the Develop mode to edit my photos. He has a gift of making all this seem simple, and knows just how much information to share so that you don't feel overwhelmed. I highly recommend him!

Knowledgeable, thorough and patient teacher

Alex is the complete package. He’s an inspiring professional photographer, genuinely loves his chosen art form and clearly enjoys sharing his understanding of both the work in the field and post processing with his students. He’s a gem.

Knowledgeable, efficient, good communicator

Alex really knows Lightroom. I had spent hours trying to solve a missing photos problem to no avail, and Alex quickly came up with a creative solution and got me back on track. Highly recommend.

Avery, 2 lessons with Alexander

His performance matched his many other reviews. Outstanding.

Covered a wide range of LightRoom issues. Have 50,000 photos and plenty of room for improvement. Alexander covered both the basics and the very sophisticated including adding two types of backup systems with daily updates. We use three kinds of backup drives so his help was critical to getting great results. Will hire him on a regular basis as need to improve my photo management system. Thank you Alexander and Wyzant.

Friendly, informative, and thorough

Lightroom had been very frustrating for us before this session. Alexander K. guided us through the most important and useful operations in Lightroom. He had numerous tips to share, all of which we absorbed. The following day, he asked about our progress -- we had run into several issues, but got past them, thanks to all his instruction and guidance. Lightroom is now our friend, not our enemy.
