Dennis Fritsche: Themes and Projects
As your catalog grows over the years, you will find there are themes you return to time and again. The themes are often subject, location, or technique. I will share some of my recurring themes and how they might be turned into a project. And give some techniques to find and organize these themes with the help of Lightroom Classic.
