The Edit With Danielle series at Unraveled Academy is an immersive, behind-the-scenes look into the post-processing workflow of Danielle Hatcher, a renowned natural light and lifestyle photographer. Known for her ability to transform ordinary indoor settings into emotive, story-rich art, Danielle pulls back the curtain on how she maintains her signature "clean yet soulful" aesthetic.

This series is designed for photographers who struggle with the unpredictability of in-home lifestyle sessions. Danielle focuses heavily on managing the challenges of indoor lighting—such as mixed light sources, low-light grain, and tight spaces—and shows how to polish these frames into a cohesive, professional portfolio. Her approach is less about heavy manipulation and more about enhancing the honest, raw connection between her subjects.

What You’ll Learn

The series provides a comprehensive technical and creative roadmap, including:

• Culling with Purpose: Learn Danielle’s criteria for selecting images that tell a story rather than just filling a gallery.

• Lightroom Mastery: Deep dives into her specific sliders, including how she achieves creamy skin tones and vibrant but natural colors without over-saturating.

• Photoshop Finishes: Techniques for subtle "hand-editing" to remove distractions or add that final artistic "pop" that presets alone can't achieve.

• Consistency Across Sessions: How to ensure your editing style remains recognizable even when shooting in different homes with varying light quality.
