Belfast Photo Workshops

Belfast Photo Workshops Make a statement without saying a word.

BPW was created out of the absence of established photographic artists, sharing and tutoring young and old creators who are thirsty for practical knowledge to lead them forward in their careers and art.

Stop wasting time on metadata.

Two new Lightroom Classic plugins from Belfast Photo Workshops . . . KeywordAI and IPTCFiller, use AI to analyse your photos and fill in your keywords, title, caption, location, and copyright in seconds.

Select your photos, hit go, review what the AI suggests, and apply what you want. That’s it.

Both plugins work directly inside Lightroom, no switching apps, no copying and pasting, no manual typing.

You hiked to the top. You waited for the light. You got the shot.

Then someone posted it on their website without asking.

It happens more than most photographers want to admit. And the frustrating truth is that without formal copyright registration, your legal options are limited.

So I built a plugin to make it easier.

Copyright Helper is a new Lightroom Classic plugin that guides you step by step through registering your photos with the US Copyright Office, without ever leaving Lightroom.

It reads your photo metadata automatically, walks you through every question on the registration form, generates the official title list the Copyright Office requires, and exports low resolution deposit copies of your images at the correct size.

One fee covers up to 750 photos. The plugin does the hard part.

Because the shot on top of that mountain is yours. Make sure it stays that way.

Available now at belfastphotoworkshops.com/tips-and-tools for £10.

🎉 I just released a free AI powered KEYWORD plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic.

If you spend time manually keywording your photos, this will save you hours. Select your photos, run the plugin, and within seconds you'll have up to 30 relevant keyword suggestions covering subjects, settings, lighting, mood, colours and more.

Two modes:
📋 Review & Select — tick the keywords you want before applying
⚡ Auto — batch process multiple photos instantly with no interruptions

It supports JPEG, PNG, HEIC (iPhone photos) and more.

Free to download and use. You just need a free Anthropic API account, a $5 credit will cover hundreds of photos.

Every photographer knows the feeling. You spend 20 minutes crafting the perfect caption, descriptive, creative, SEO friendly, and the client rewrites it in 30 seconds anyway. 🙃

So I built a plugin that does it in 5 seconds instead.

IPTCFiller is an AI powered plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic that automatically fills in all your IPTC metadata, title, caption, keywords, category, location and copyright, in one click.

Here's the part that blew me away. I tested it on this shot of Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge, a professional DSLR file with no GPS data embedded. Just from analysing the image, it correctly identified:

📍 Sublocation: Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge
🏙 City: Ballintoy
🇬🇧 County: County Antrim
🇬🇧 Country: Northern Ireland

No GPS. No hints. Just AI looking at the photo.

So whether you shoot on an iPhone with GPS or a professional camera without it, this works for every image in your library.

Now available at belfastphotoworkshops.com/tips-and-tools for just £10.
