For starters, it’s the only monochrome (*but not) image I’ve ever processed for a tutorial. Second, this video shows us just how crazy we can go with fog and atmospheric adjustments… which turns out to be A LOT.
Then there are things like split-toning, handmade light rays, astonishing amounts of cloning from several exposures, how large of a role that the Adobe Camera Raw filter can play in our workflow, hand-drawn textures, and more.
In this video I show you many of the various ways I use simple dodge/burn adjustments to fix blend lines, add color, enhance light, and more. Also covered is my "Light Bleed" technique that is often imitated by landscape photographers. You'll get to see how I use it to create the unique look of my images. Finally you get to easily learn the approach from the originator of this style!

Have you ever wondered if you could take your worst images and turn them into something visually compelling? I pondered that idea recently while digging through my photo archives looking for something to process. The result is this video. I took a rather boring, flat, poorly composed photo through the paces in Photoshop to see if I could make an impactful image... and I think I did well! Pulling color out of colorless light, warping, land shifting, creating light rays, and more. This video shows you just what is possible if you throw aside your strict photography morals and embrace the art of digital imaging... something more and more people are doing these days!

One of the most important, but least talked about, aspects of creating compelling imagery is atmosphere. There are two key elements I focus on while creating my work; light and atmosphere. Atmosphere is what allows you to build depth, varieties of texture, and a deep sense of moody weather in your photos. In this video I teach you everything I do in post-processing to enhance and create atmospherics. Topics covered include using atmosphere to create depth between your foreground and background, when and where to introduce haze, using atmosphere to help frame an image, targeted texture adjustments, building extra drama in waterfalls, creating and enhancing fog, getting the perfect rays of light, and how to correctly use glow/orton-effect to enhance highlights and tone down busy scenes... with over 15 example photos.

People have been asking for it for years, but I wanted to wait for the right shot to do it! This is the first in a series of intructional videos where I show you what goes into the processing of an entire shot, from RAW conversion to saving the final processed image... and everything in between.
