Photo Editing Tips ↓

• Shoot & Edit ✍🏼 Get the settings right in camera first / the composition. Always shoot in RAW so you have more in depth editing options.

• Light 💡 Good lighting captures more detail and gives you more to improve your photos while editing. This is because good lighting makes each pixel in your photo easier to edit. Make sure your photos are captured in well-lit environments.

• Colour 🎨 Changing color tones in post production
When editing a photo you might adjust the original color tones with the white balance slider, the tone curve tool or with color grading. For example changing greens to browns for a warm and earthy edit that’s currently popular.

• My masking process to make photo more dynamic :

- Subject: I usually start with my subject and correct things like shadows and exposure.

- Background: I’ll usually then darken my whole background slightly so my subject stands out more.

- Foreground: I’ll then darken the foreground to bring the viewers attention into my subject.

- Highlights: I’ll then use the brush tool to mask out where I think the highlights are and exaggerate them.

- Shadows: I’ll then do the exact same thing I did for the highlights but for the shadows.

- Radial sun glow: I’ll then add a large radial mask coming from where the sun is to add a nice glow to the image.

- Sky gradient: lastly I’ll add a linear gradient to the sky to also help draw the viewers eye into my subject.
