Making Outstanding Images Ep. 4&5 trailer: Exploring style
Making Outstanding Images Episode 4: Exploring Style (US$80, two parts, 1h42m and 1h24m)
We begin by questioning and explaining what style is, and the quantitative hallmarks/ tools that can be used to define, control and create a particular impression, and more importantly, why. I then take four popular, easily defined styles - commercial/travel, high contrast photojournalist black and white, fine art black and white and cinematic - and deconstruct them to their constituent elements, looking at examples and precisely defining what gives them their unique visual look. I then take these elements on a live demo shoot for each style on location in Penang, and discuss the finished images to explain why they work.
Making Outstanding Images Episode 5: Processing for Style (US$80, two parts, 1h42m and 1h27m)
The final video in this series brings everything together to the point of output: we take the sample images shot in Exploring style, and examine the postprocessing techniques required to complete the intended style. Starting with the raw files, we put 50+ examples step-by-step through Photoshop and demonstrate exactly what you need to do out-of-camera to put a distinctive flavour onto an image.
The videos are meant to be viewed as a pair to be complete, so we're offering a special bundle price: US$130 (save $30)
