Learn new editing techniques and concepts weekly!
Editing is something we continually grow in. Not just as our editing styles evolve, but even as Adobe releases new updates throughout the year. So not only are our editing style preferences ever-changing, but we're also having to learn all the new technical ways to achieve them.
So I am going to help editing be less frustrating for you and more exciting!
With this academy, you're going to get educational editing videos EACH WEEK that will help you greatly expand your editing knowledge!
We're going to cover topics like tackling greens, mastering skin tones, manipulating light, getting creamy skin, editing different styles, tips for quicker editing, how to control and change tones, how to edit for different lighting scenarios and locations, and so much more.
**Make sure when you checkout to OPT IN for emails so that you get important Academy announcements and releases!**
Now, let's chat more specifics...
First... make sure you understand this part, it's important:
Let's say you join November 11th, you will get all of November's content, and content through Dec 11th. You don't get the previous month's content. *You can purchase other content though that you may have missed! More on that in a bit...*
Content will release weekly on the 1st, 7th, 14th, and 21st every month and all content will expire at 11:59pm (US CST) on the last day of each month. You will be emailed about the release of new content each week!
Content expires to help keep this membership as affordable as possible for you! If you kept all the content however long you wanted it, 1) You'd put off watching it because I've seen that happen over and over. 2) The value of this membership would be MUCH higher and therefore cost you more. So instead, enjoy a lower membership fee and if you want to keep any of the content, you can purchase it separately :)
So Kayla, what if I missed some content before it expired?! Or if I really want some videos you released before I joined?
I hear you! Things happen, kids get sick, we get sick, we go on a trip, or plain ole life just gets in the way. Maybe you didn't hear about the academy until after some months have already run, or just couldn't sign up right away... Don't worry, I've thought about all this too!
You will be able to purchase a week's worth of content TO KEEP, whether you just missed it or you just want to have it to reference back to.
*Academy content is ONLY available for current academy students to purchase!*
Tell me more about the topics, how much content, programs and presets, and what if I want to cancel...
Sure thing! Keep reading!...
Can I cancel at anytime, or is their a minimum month requirement?
You can absolutely cancel anytime from your account management page!
How do I find out what topics are being covered?
I will email students the next month's Topic Schedule and it will also be released on Instagram on the The Chrysalis Collective Instagram page.
How much content is released each week?
It depends on the topic as some will require more time and some less, but around 30 minutes to 1.5 hours worth of videos each week minimum.
What presets are used in the videos? And what editing program will you be using?
I will be using presets I have made and sell, including the Prismatic Collection, The Clean Pack, Mist & Fury packs, Wild Rebel Pack, the Ultimate Brush Pack, and more. But the techniques used can be used with other preset packs you own.
Videos will be recorded in Lightroom Classic (not Lightroom CC). ACR users will benefit since Lightroom and ACR have the same tools, just a different layout.
Will content be brand new every single week?
Almost all!!! Every now and then we will have an Encore Topic that will be used for one of the week's content. (An Encore Topic is a previous topic & its videos that were released during a prior month.) This is great if you missed a topic that you wanted to see or just want a recap on it, but weren't able to purchase it separately.
I will send an email to current academy students and post a poll to social media for students looking to join, where you/they can vote which Encore Topic they would like added into the next months Topic Schedule. Some encore weeks will have additional videos going into more depth if I had a lot of questions regarding that topic.
"Genuinely one of the BEST investments I have made for my business!!! I can’t believe how much educational content is included in just one month. I joined my first zoom call in the group this month and getting to speak directly to Kayla, ask her questions and get real time advice from her was truly incredible. am feeling more inspired then ever to grow and push myself to try new things. I also love that content comes out weekly each month so it actually makes me set time aside each week that I dedicate to learning. So to summarise you really can’t go wrong with this!! Thank you Kayla for making education so accessible and so insanely good!!!" - Iona

*Reviews are collected through an anonymous form*
"I have loved every second of this academy. Kayla gets straight to the point without going too fast. I have a very tiny attention span so I love the speed she goes! I’ve learned something new in everything single lesson. I am so happy to have finally jumped on board!"
"Kayla is so incredibly gifted + skilled with the way she sees + uses color. Her intimate knowledge of how to use every single Lightroom tool to enhance your work blows me away. I learn something new every time I open the curriculum and appreciate how generously she shares!"
"I've been thrilled so far! I've never had any editing instruction and am a complete newbie, yet instead of feeling overwhelmed by jumping right in, I've found several things every week that I can practice with and learn how to do. I still feel like there is SO much to learn, and I can't wait to keep going! I do especially love the full edits occasionally, along with the smaller focus videos. Thank you!"
"I have been a photographer for 20+ years and I am still really enjoying watching Kayla edit and see how she does things. It's definitely worth it, even for the experienced photographer."
