Bright Photoworks Academy

I teach photography and editing in a simple and practical way. My name is Ethan Linstrom, I am a commercial photographer, homeschooling father of 4, and the owner of Bright Photoworks. Most of my work is for architects, builders, schools and corporate clients. I film in my home studio and show how I shoot, edit, and think through real problems. Before I shot professionally, I taught Arts, Media, and Entertainment for a decade at Public High Schools across Southern CA. 

This channel is for beginners and students who want to learn the basics without feeling lost. I teach Lightroom, Photoshop, InDesign and DaVinci Resolve. I also cover camera settings, lighting, composition and workflow. Everything is explained in plain language with clear steps and real examples.

If you want to understand how to take better photos and how to edit with confidence, you are in the right place. I post two lessons each week and share short clips that break each idea down even further.
