Hi there, my name is Ricardo and I'm an experienced Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator freelancer.

In this course, I'm going to show you some image processing techniques to achieve a cool cyberpunk style visual effect within your photos. This popular art style takes inspiration from 80s nostalgia and the neon-noir gender of movies such as Blade Runner, which featured densely populated, futuristic cities illuminated by bright neon signs and advertisements.

• We'll process the original photo to give it a hyper-realistic HDR appearance, then apply heavy color grading with hot pinks and bright blues, which are popular aesthetic of this style. Enhancements to the neon signs, plus some subtle mist and smoke effects.


• We'll then finish off the image with the stylized atmosphere of those neon-noir movies.

There are exercise files that you can download so you can work alongside me.

If you want to create a cool cyberpunk style visual effect within your photos, follow me and I will show you how to do it inside of Photoshop.
