Davies Media Design | Powerful Tip to Brighten ONLY the Subject in Your Photos with GIMP | Free Photo Editor @DaviesMediaDesign | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 4 hours ago
In this video I show you a pro photo editing tip to easily brighten ONLY the subject or model in your photos to make the image POP. I also show you how to make image adjustments to the subject to help bring the final composition together - creating a professionally edited image using beginner-friendly techniques.

This is a great composition to use for things like advertisements, social media posts, or websites. The huge amounts of contrast between the model and the background make it easy to add text or graphics. Enjoy this awesome photo editing tip for more professional and dynamic photography!

I use GIMP for this tutorial, which is a free photo editor most similar to Photoshop or Affinity Photo.
