Digital Photo Mentor

I consider myself an intermediate photographer who has used Lightroom as my primary editing tool. I found Darlene's approach to using NEO to improve my editing workflow very helpful. She helped me understand how many of the tools in NEO can complement my use of LIghtroom. I strongly recommend this course.

I just am on module 6 of Darlene’s Lightroom Classic course. For someone with no experience using LrC, I’m finding her teaching technique clear, concise and easy to follow. Will definitely sign up for more of Darlene’s courses.

Excellent Lightroom course for both beginners and experienced users. I really like the format of having the opportunity to attend live ZOOM classes followed by a question and answer questions with Darlene. If you miss the ZOOM class, they are recorded as well as the Q & A session so you can easily make up a missed session. In addition, you can submit your question online, via email, or on the private FB page for enrollees in the course. Darlene has a very organized and clear way of presenting the material. Even though I have been using LR for a number of years (having taken a course at least 6-7 years ago), there have been so many updates and improvements in LR since my original course that I found Darlene’s course very useful. Highly recommended!

Darlene's Youtubes are often a go to" when I'm needing help with Neo

Hi everyone. I can thoroughly recommend Digital Photo Mentor in terms of both the breadth of straightforward learning advice, tips and challenges that Darlene present to us each week and also in terms of Darlene's (and colleagues) style and approach to bringing subjects to life. I participated in the portrait fundamentals last year and picked up a huge range of knowledge, techniques and invaluable tips and processes. Darlene also doesn't forget to keep in touch and can be relied on to continue to share her knowledge and advice, post learning. Highly recommended. Ian Nott's

Darlene is a great teacher. I've met with her online and she explains concepts in a patient, easy to understand manner. She's super nice on top of that. I'm currently taking a couple of her video courses and her wonderful teaching style translates equally well to that type of environment

Darlene explains editing really well in Lightroom and Luminar - her live edits are excellent - have learnt so much!

I highly recommend tutoring sessions with Darlene! She is an excellent teacher who can explain complex photography and editing concepts in hands on ways that are understandable and practical. She uses technology in amazing ways by sending articles through chat while communicating and screen sharing using Zoom. And they’re articles she wrote because she’s an absolute expert! Then after the lesson you get a recorded copy of your lesson along with links of everything she suggested reading! She also reviewed photos I sent her that I took so I got really specific individualized feedback that was perfect for exactly where I am in my photography journey. And she’s also funny and fun. I highly recommend her and can hardly wait for my next lesson!

Darlene is a fabulous teacher. She understands the programs she frequently uses and does an amazing job explaining exactly what she is doing and why. Darlene is very accommodating in answering all the many questions her viewers ask as she is processing and explaining Lightroom and Luminar features. Wonderful way to learn these programs.
