Finally had time to watch. Personally I don't like editing much so interesting to see your approach. Will tryout your presets thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the new portrait videos. 👍
This was great. I wish more photographers would spend more time making images with their camera rather than spending hours no end editing photos in post. A sure sign of them not really knowing what they were doing. Although, I only do landscape and still life , but I like watching good photographers doing fashion portraits like yourself. Lindberg was a legend and his photographs seem simple on the surface , but they are highly complex images. I also watch Peter Coulson channel every once in a while. He too does fashion, and he too says that he spends time on the set up and gets it right in the camera rather than spending time 'editing'.
At the start, I was like, his inspiration is Peter Lindberg. He is mine as well as some other photographers I follow. I think with the increase in AI and the over editing, or I hope, more people will appreciate this stripped down style. I think another major component to Peter's success is his connection with his subjects. You can't get his results without a clear vision and trust.
Clicking "subtract" allows you to subtract from the selection on the generative remove mask, which is especially helpful when "object detection" is checked. I bet you can figure out what the Add button does.
This helps me understand your style. It was a good reintroduction to LR as well. I used LR when I started digital editing but later switched to Capture One, which I still prefer. However, the differences are diminishing with AI. I kept my Adobe subscription because I occasionally need Photoshop to do complicated edits. It's hard to justify the expense, though. I probably use it less than 5 percent of the time.
Great video, I am not a fan of post editing even in my low level of photography, in fact my photos that I like the most are mostly those that come out right away. It is also true that even in the days of film there has always been the possibility of processing photos even if to a limited extent. Today however it seems to me that we exaggerate too much, I hear of people who spend a lot of time in editing, I believe that in this era with the excellent cameras that are in production a good photographer should 90% get good or rather excellent photos directly from the camera. Otherwise why are we complaining about AI?😊
That was great Ben! (as always)
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Boy. That was great. Never used healing brush. Now I will. 👍
Glad to hear it. It’s a very useful tool.

You are 100% correct. It was mostly about him - THIS is the secret ingredient for all good photographers. Cameras matter very little. He was the GOAT.
Ha, kind of glad to see I'm not the only one fixing the overall mood with whiteblance! :D
It's so effective, it feels like cheating sometimes.
Whatever works

Totally agree. Thank you.
I notice that you don’t use color sliders on your black and white portraits (eg:emulating filters).
I use that all the time for my bnw conversions. Crushing the sky, etc… just did t see the need here. Thanks
