The KEY to Successful Commercial Architecture Photo Edits |
|
In this tutorial I'll walk you through a full edit of an evening shot from a commercial architectural photoshoot. The key as with ALL architecture shots is to ensure a full tonal range showing details in the shadows and highlights with nothing lost, whilst maintaining rich contrast.
Follow this simple system for excellent results every time. I recommend getting this luminosity blending panel https://bit.ly/3dpGeub as it will allow you to create precise masks for shadows, highlights and midtones with a just couple of clicks. I've covered how I use it in this and other videos. It's a game changer if architectural photography is your thing (it's really useful for landscapes too). I alluded to a future video on image finishing - IE the final pizazz that makes our work pop. Write "finishing" in the comments if you'd like to see my approach to that - OR if you just want to see what I use... it's this: https://bit.ly/nik-collection-dxo ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ A complete free architectural photography editing tutorial: https://youtu.be/qLpbTuI_2sM Exposure Blending Tutorial for higher quality edits: https://youtu.be/RblEbqypl80 Exposure Blending Panel for Photoshop: https://bit.ly/3dpGeub If you want to learn more about licensing your photos to earn more money this is a really good resource https://bit.ly/How2LicensePhotos (not mine, but very thorough and practical). ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ณ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ปโโ๏ธGet Lightroom and Photoshop here: https://bit.ly/CC-adobe ๐ Lightroom Alternative without subscription!: https://bit.ly/dxo-editing ๐ฃ Insanely good sharpening, denoise, and upscaling: https://bit.ly/TopazBundle ๐ฆพCreative and easy editing https://bit.ly/Luminar-NEO For the final touches I use: https://bit.ly/nik-collection-dxo ๐ฃ๐น๐๐ด-๐ถ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฃ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐คฉ Luminosity masking panel for Photoshop: https://bit.ly/3dpGeub ๐ช High end finishing and effects https://bit.ly/nik-collection-dxo ๐จ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐น ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ธ๐ โ๏ธThe graphics tablet I use https://amzn.to/3SXfVhd โ Best Sky replacement pack: https://bit.ly/2Ruj8KP-Skies ๐ฑ Tourbox - a tool for editing quicker: https://bit.ly/39TdQ1S (discount code: TB20210408XXL08) ๐ฅ๏ธ Best colour accurate monitor: https://amzn.to/3UbFgVm ๐ต Music when featured is from https://bit.ly/ATHookSounds ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฝ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ โ Best power vs cost strobe light https://bit.ly/pro-strobe ๐ท Lens: https://amzn.to/2RZzV5M ๐ท New fav camera: https://amzn.to/3vHkMI6 ๐ท My Pro Camera: https://amzn.to/3j3fQan ๐ท My Wide Angle Lens: https://amzn.to/3j9I1Vb (used for 90% of my architectural work) ๐ท Nifty fifty: https://amzn.to/3ifmY2t ๐ท Mid-range zoom: https://amzn.to/33Xltkc ๐ท Telephoto Lens: https://amzn.to/3cBAyMo ๐ท Tripod Head for architecture: https://amzn.to/30cbJBq These are affiliate links to the equipment I use - they are not sponsored by the manufacturer in any way.
