Description
Includes PSD and raw files to follow along!Four seasons? What about six? In this monstrous tutorial, I’ll show you how to process 6 different forest photos shot in different conditions, seasons and light.Enter the Dark ForestHi, my name is Daniel Laan. As a landscape photographer for nearly 20 years now, I’ve been coming back to the Dark Forest theme for years. That moody visual style is directly related to the things I enjoy in life; Tolkien's books and Jackson's films, Game of Thrones, the Alien franchise… the fantastical sometimes borderline claustrophobic atmosphere…I love the forest. No matter which season. If you think autumn is the only season worth visiting the woods with your camera, you’re missing out.A dark winter forest is perhaps my favorite. The bleak, desolate landscape just appeals to me. We used to have a lot of snow here in the Netherlands, but winters have changed. It’s all bare trees now. So let’s bring your camera as I teach you all the ins and outs of woodland photography post-processing.In this complete 4-part video tutorial, you will learn how to edit forest photos from all seasons. We’ll cover summer, spring and several stages of autumn and winter photography so you can go to any forest confidently if the conditions are right. But you still have to go in the right conditions. What you will learn in this tutorial is not how to save a bad image, but how to make a good image fantastic.What’s included in this courseThese videos contain close to 7 hours’ worth of processing in total, including the full raw-to-result post-processing of 6 images and two hours of instructional videos about setting correct colors, luminosity masking and channel selections.Six PSD-files (resized) of photos that showcase the immense diversity you can find in your typical forest, with every adjustment still present.
