ANECDOTE

Embracing Magenta Lighting

  • Brady Shearer shares his experience shooting in a nightclub with challenging magenta lighting.
  • He learned to lean into the magenta tones instead of fighting them, creating a truer representation of the space.
ADVICE

Subtle Adjustments

  • Use clarity, dehaze, vibrance, and saturation sliders subtly.
  • Avoid overdoing these adjustments, as they can easily make photos look unnatural.
ADVICE

Editing Darker Complexions

  • When editing photos of people with darker complexions, lower orange saturation and luminance.
  • This helps restore richness and depth to their skin tones, avoiding an orange appearance.
