Post Production

If you've been a photographer for a while, you've probably already realized just how important the photo editing process is to the success of your final images. Some genres of photography require very little post production while others require an extensive understanding of compositing and retouching using a program like Photoshop. This tutorial will help broaden your understanding of what the post production process looks like for various genres of photography. Learning more about this process will help increase the efficiency of your own workflow and produce better results.

A Quick message from Brian

As you can imagine, filming in depth photography education is no joke! It literally takes weeks of time for instructors to write lesson plans, test ideas, comp images together, travel, film, edit and promote. Filming a project like this means that I'm putting other projects on hold and saying no to client work in order to produce this level of training. It's a REALLY BIG COMMITMENT in time.
