Portrait editing can be very daunting. You hear terms like frequency separation, dodge and burn, liquify, and Photoshop highlights and shadows.
So you say to yourself, βI want to do portraits in Photoshop, but where the hell do I start?β Well, fret no more; in this video, we look at 5 essentials that all beginner, amateur and even intermediate photographers need to learn when editing portraits in Photoshop for the first time.
Many of us want to learn Photoshop. But Photoshop has a million layers of learning with an endless variety of techniques. So as a beginner photographer, knowing priorities can be important when developing your photo post-production skills and upping your game.
Keep it simple and master the cropping tool.
Pay attention to highlights and shadows with dodge and burn
The eyes are the key. Make sure that you brighten, sharpen and whiten eyes all the time
Blemishes can be taken away with one tool. The healing brush
Draw attention to your subject in whatever way possible. Two techniques. Vignette and iris blur.
Chapters in this video are

00:16 Video summary
00:48 Learn the crop tool
01:44 Dodge and burn tool

These are the video has chapters
00:00 Intro
00:12 What beginner portrait photographers need
00:43 When is there a time to have high contrast natural lighting
01: 06 My photoshoots where high contrast was worth it
01:44 How I shot in this high contrast light
02:00 Dipping into Highlights and shadows
02:27 Slideshow and results from the photoshoot
03:34 5 tips for shooting in very high contrast light
03:40 1 - Donβt expect too much
03:57 2 - You will battle with image previewing
04:13 3 - Cast a model that moves
04:47 4 - Uderexpose and shoot in RAW
04:57 5 - Polish up your Photoshop skills
Beginner portrait photographers quickly learn one thing about lighting - You need a soft light source. Soft lighting gives excellent results time after time.
You see most of the time, portraits require gentle and subtle light transitioning from one part of the face to the other. This smooth transition allows for softer skin tones, trueness of colour, and overall flattery to anyoneβs face (male or female).
But there is a time where high contrast lighting can add an artistic element to your portraits. With High-contrast lighting, borders between shadows and light are very well defined. If these light borders are well painted or even skewed in an artistic way, they can create some really captivating and stunning photos.

Many people look for that beautifully blurred background they see in all professional photos. Well in this video, I look at how to get this effect the simple way on your smartphone or the more complicated and sophisticated way on your compact, mirrorless, bridge, or DSLR camera. I speak of the one setting that is the most important; Aperture.

Moon landing deniers have been around for a while. But in the age of "Fake news" and questionable press practices, the movement keeps on growing. Much of moon landing denier's so-called proof is in the photographs.
However, as a photographer with a pretty good knowledge of photographic realities, I am sure that the photographs come from the moon's surface. In this video, I will show how the knowledge of just a couple of photographic principles can either explain what you see in the moon photographs or prove that what you see is correct.

Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 and the Viltrox 56mm f/1.4

Look below to check out the chapters of the video.
A while back, Fujifilm released the second version to their entry-level mirrorless camera body aimed at bloggers, vloggers, and lifestyle content creators. To me, the Fujifilm X-T200 was a welcome upgrade to the X-T100 released about a year and a half before the Fujifilm X-T200. The Fujifilm X-T100 was a compromise in features and nothing special to add to the Fujifilm mirrorless camera lineup.

I happened to be extremely unfortunate with the 56mm f/1.2 by Fujinon. My Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 had a loose aperture ring, made my camera freeze, and was not a good copy in general. My Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 is such a bad copy of the lens that I do not feel that it represents the len s very well.
Today, I will point you to my review of the Viltrox and also tell you why it would be unfair for me to compare these two lenses.

I have been working with Luminar, Lightroom, and Photoshop. I love them all and know each one has its pros and cons. The advantage of one is sometimes the disadvantage of the other. But Luminar has some really cool pros that both Lightroom and Photoshop do not have. As an experienced Luminar 4, Luminar 2018 and Luminar 3 user I try to really get into the details of where Luminar shines and where it does not.
It is in ways a review of the latest Luminar but also a reflection on what is best for any photographer's workflow
While looking on the web I found a whole bunch of questions I know I am the right person to answer. Here they are
Is Luminar any good?
Is Luminar better than Lightroom?
Is Luminar easy to use?
Can Luminar replace Lightroom?
Can Luminar replace Photoshop?
