Photo Editing Lessons in person or online. Unlock the secrets of photo editing with lessons by Deniz Demir. Learn to enhance your photos with expert guidance and techniques in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. photo editing lessons “You don't take a photograph - you make it” — Ansel Adams As someone who hosts a lot of studio and creative events in the city one thing that became evident to me was just how different the finished photographs looked from each photographer. We could shoot the same model and similar lighting setup but the finished results would always end up entirely different. I firmly believe that the photograph taken in camera is one (major) piece of the puzzle but that editing is the secret sauce to speak in truly expressing yourself as an artist. It's something that can be very intimidating for a lot of beginners and even those with a lot of experience as photo editing programs start to take exciting new leaps in technology. I edit nearly everyday from street photography to studio portraits where subtleties in retouching are required and over the years I have gained and mastered a lot of techniques in editing apps like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Let me take your photos to the next level with my one x one private lessons where I can give you all the tools, tips and techniques to simplify the process and in the end make editing enjoyable. Private Book time with me online or in person.

Gain practical experience in capturing compelling street portraits with expert guidance. portrait workshops with model “A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.” — Edward Steichen PHOTO TEACHER I’m a firm believer in the idea that it is more important to click with people than to click the shutter when it comes to photographing subjects. There is an entirely different human element that must be nurtured compared to other styles that can bring your audience into something more than just a pretty picture. This workshop will focus on working with a model out on the street producing environmental and street portrait photography similar to the works in my portfolio. Private In this personalized 1 on 1 workshop we will work with an experienced model and cover all the basics as well as more advanced topics when it comes to pre-shoot planning and on location. We'll discuss topics such as how to work with your subjects in terms of posing and cues, lighting and what to look for in uncontrolled environment (aka not in a studio) to be sure the models are lit properly, the use of effects and props, creating work with intent and purpose, locations and of course the best camera settings and gear. Max Size: 1 person Cost: ¥20,000 / per hour including model (minimum 2 hours) Locations: Shibuya and Shinjuku primarily but other areas of Tokyo as well Language: English, Japanese (intermediate) Required Gear: Minimum: a smartphone camera with manual settings app Preferred: DSLR or mirrorless camera capable of manual modes CONTACT Group Book time with me in a group of 2 or more (up to 6) where we will work with an experienced model and cover all the basics as well as more advanced topics when it comes to pre-shoot planning and on location.

Shop Now BEFORE / AFTER How To Use Notes about using Presets 01 Basic Adjustments Please remember that all Presets are only a starting point. Some presets work well with some photos and some do not depending on existing colors and lighting in the original photo. Don’t be afraid to tweak each preset to your liking including: White Balance Exposure Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks Vibrance / Saturation Color Mixer Color Grading Calibration 03 Film Grain There are 3 different film grains included with a reset option. Flim Grain #1 - fine grain Film Grain #2 - medium grain Film Grain #3 - medium grain (size and amount boost) 02 Tone Curves The Tone Curves are some of the most powerful editing features in Lightroom which is why I’ve included 20 separate curve adjustments in this pack giving you a multitude of editing options! These presets fully utilize not only the main Tone Curve but also the separate RGB curves as well that help give each preset their own signature style. I’ve created 10 different main Point Curves with and without RGB adjustments so once you’ve selected a preset you like you can further tweak the look using these variations. 04 Bloom There is a Bloom On and Off preset which gives a halation style effect to really pop those highlights with a boosted hazy effect. The initial setting is set to 100 which might be too strong for your liking so in that case please adjust the amount with the slider in the MASKS section. In the case the effect does not work on your particular image you can add a radial or linear gradient across your image.
