In this video I share a little bit of the history of dodging and burning in photography, as well as 3 techniques in Adobe Photoshop (using curves, grey layers and blending modes) to shape the light and shadows in your images. I use both portraits and street photography images as examples so you can see the potential for these techniques in different genres.

Hands down the best photography channel out there
I love how you are so unlike many other photography youtubers that just spurt out vid upon vid about nothing much at all. EVERY SINGLE ONE of your vids is full of quality and interest (not to mention a TON of creativity). So even though you may not have millions of subscribers, know that EVERY subscriber you have FULLY SUPPORTS you, instead of just subscribing and then never bothering to watch any of your vids.
That’s really kind. Thanks so much:)
@@seantuck that's alright:)
My dad just slammed my dream of being a photographer. He thinks it's just a hobby and that I should do something else with my life. (I'm 16). I'm pretty devastated but I feel like I just have to slog through the hard parts and push on with my passion. Still, it's pretty disheartening when your parents (or one of them) is dead set against your dream :(
That's why I love your channel so much, I guess.
Beacuse you show the world that photography is something full of such complex beauty and creativity.
So I guess the whole point of this is to say thank you, thank you so much for sharing your videos with everyone out there. It really does mean the world to some of us.
There’s nothing wrong with getting a career in something else as well. I had a whole different career 10 years ago and I was only doing photography on the side. It took me a long time to build photography to the point where it paid the bills: probably about 15 years. I know your Dad’s advice is frustrating, but at least you will have something to pay the bills in the meantime, and something to fall back on... and in the meantime there is nothing to stop you shooting a ton and getting really good. If you find one day that people are so impressed by your work that they are willing to pay your for it, then you can start to transition across full time. Good luck.
This is a wonderful tutorial. I never feel like I've wasted my time when I spend a half an hour watching your films and I really appreciate the depth you explore on each topic.
He truly has a gift with communication
So true! He emphasizes his word so well and really makes sure he is COMPLETELY explaining everything is such a perfect way.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any help you can offer me
@Jacoby Sean instablaster ;)
@Joseph Kellen thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Your dedication to teaching is remarkable. Thank you.
Thanks Eric:)
A perfect demonstration covering dodge and burn in a remarkably comprehensive way. Well done Sean, and thanks'.
Dodge and burn is the bread and butter of a photographer.
Every time you say "tuck" when referring to the way you're working on shadows, I can't help but think "just a little tuck, a Sean Tuck"
Petition to rename the process of Dodging and Burning to "Doing the Tucker Tuck"
Sean: "When makeup artists do contouring on a face, they're basically doing dodge and burn"
Me: Mindblow!
I know right
Great video Sean. By far the most comprehensive tutorial on Dodge and Burn that I've seen. Thanks for sharing!!!
Such a good demo. No fluff. Best demo of sculpting light.
This is an excellent tutorial. With Sean, I always get the feeling that he treats his audience with respect and as intelligent adults. He is a natural teacher - you only realise what a rare skill this is when you watch other photography tutorials on TH-cam (which in my opinion cannot compare). The timing is close to perfect, neither too fast nor too slow. What he has to say is always interesting even when it is not entirely unfamiliar. In particular. I love the way he brings in so many other perspectives from the world of visual arts (not just photography).
Thanks Ian. Very kind.
Ian, i agree 100%.
You are a natural teacher. I loved the way you linked history with today’s technology. Clear and easy to understand. Many thanks.
Everytime I watch your videos it always feels like I have the urge to do a standing ovation in my bedroom at the end. Great content as always...
This is a fantastic introduction to not just dodge and burn, but photoshop's endless tools - adding the makeup 'map' as a guide was genius! SUBSCRIBED
Thank you Sean. This is, without doubt, the best tutorial I have come across on Dodge & Burn. Your content in general is so very informative and inspirational.
Sean is definitely the one photographer who speaks to my soul and each video/tutorials he puts out, are probably the most helpful, insightful and comprehensive out here on TH-cam when it comes to photography and the philosophy that shines through it. Thank you so much Sean for yet another beautiful and helpful video.
This is amazing, I learned more in 34 minutes than years during film school. Thanks
Sean, you are such a wealth of information. BRILLIANT tutorial!
The real hitter in all your videos is the 1080p. Proving that material quality trumps video quality. And so it does. Thanks for this video!
As an amature in this photoshop world, this video is by far, the best tutorial on D&B . Thank you Sean.
Brilliant way of explaining. Good pace. Very useful. Thanks Sean.
Sean, I just want to say that of all the photography channels and tutorials online you are by far the most inspiring and articulate of them all. Your deeply personal and philosophical approach cuts through the pretentious BS of the art world. From a fellow Saffa, introvert and photographer it always makes me happy to see one of us doing something special in the world. Your videos will stand the test of time as does all great advice.Thanks brother!!
I was fortunate to learn black & white film processing & photography in High School ..... the fundamentals are so important...
Thank you Sean! Have a nice day!
Brilliant as always! It never ceases to amaze me how I can watch hours somewhere else on a topic and have a tenuous grasp, then watch you and go..."that makes total sense". Thanks Sean!
Thanks Debby. That's great to hear.
Wow... how is this information free? Thank you so much Sean!!
Love your honesty Sean, very well made and useful video. Thanks. 😊
better and easier to watch than the other tutorials
The best dodge an burn tutorial I've ever watched.
Excellent! Again! As always! Thanks a lot.
Omg, I always wondered how the dark room process worked. Didn't click on this for that knowledge but so so glad I did. Thank you for explaining the negative processing.
Checks subscriptions, sees Sean Tucker video, rushes to get everything done to make time to sit down, relax, and enjoy.
Even though I don't use Photoshop anymore, and I'm mostly on mobile editing apps, I still found this very interesting. I'm always interested in your workflow, Sean.
Best dodge and burn video on the TH-cam University!!! Thank You
Pure knowledge, that old school dodge and burn in the film era is just awesome
I've been using dodge and burn on Photoshop for years but seeing you use it and the methods you go through feels like I'm a newbie starting all again.
Thank you for this video. The best and well explained video on this topic. Very simple and straightforward. Thanks again.
Always the best. Thanks, Sean.
Masterclass that's all I can say. Many thanks for a top video.
These pictures were pretty darn amazing with no touch ups!
Watching Tucker tucking in some shadows - very nice
The best tutorial of dodge and burn !! Thank you so much Sean 🙏🙏
This was easily the most practical and useful video I watched, this month.
the dodge and burn icons in photoshop just started making sense after watching this :D
Thanks Sean Domnhall Gleeson! :)
I stumbled upon your vlogs and so glad I did. I have been shooting for decades and at 67 I am still learning something new every day. These Dodge and Burn techniques are some of the best I have seen and will be incorporating them into my editing process. Not a portrait photographer but I can see these techniques being useful for even wildlife and landscapes. A new subscriber! Thanks Sean!
Thanks Gary, and welcome:)
Both this and the Photoshop videos are excellent! As you said the principle techniques that we use have been around since the beginning of this craft/art. The specific illustrations you used in the Photoshop video were fascinating and eye openers for me. I knew of Ansel's darkroom work but Van Ho, Dorthea Lange and Curtis I was not aware of. Brilliant. And this video on Dodge and Burn is simple, to the point, and a great learning tool even for those of us who might have a bit more experience than the average. Thank you Sean!!
WAOW, thank you for the explanation and images demonstrations of how it all was done in the dark room!
great job Sean
this was without a doubt the best d/b tutorial i've come across. Thank you for your detail, time and manner.
Just watching the intro. Once again you found the exact theme I was interested in. This is not the first time, I don't know ho you do ot, but if you have my search history, I can explain😁😁😁
Thanks, Sean. Good stuff. 👍
"Just a tuck" Tucker said 😁
Thank you so much. I appreciate your work or should I say the art of photography and storytelling and teaching.
Every video I learned about photography about me and about mentality. It's like mediation.
Everytime before I watch a new video I don't have a question. But after that I come back in my Life and ask myself something what about I never think about.
Thank you very much
This tutorial is fantastic... I never understood why masks were a big deal in layers... this now makes sense, it gives you complete control and flexibility without hitting undo on all your previous actions. This just changed my process for the better! Very grateful!
Also, your phrase at one point, "cleaning up the light" sums the whole process up perfectly.
Love the history lesson at the beginning.
Very helpful tutorial! Thank you, Sean
I'm usually very bored when watching tutorials. Yours are great to watch though! I love how you explain everything in a very comprehensive and patient way!
Thank you for your time and effort explaining these various methods. You are helping many of us.
Thank you Sean, excellent tutorial.
Sean, This was one of the most useful tutorials I have watched. Your explanations were precise,but not too quick that I couldn’t follow what you were doing. Thank you.
Great video again Sean !!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial
Now I understand what the photoshop dodge and burn tool icons represent!
Really nice tutorial!!! Very clear and informative
This is literally THE BEST dodge and burn tutorial, Sean you killed it! Thank you very much my man!
Excellent tutorial Sean!!
Excellent Demo 👍👍
Less is more. Embrace the negatives. Great photography and psychology lessons. As always.
Excellent. Thank you very much Sean.
Really loved the intro for this. When I did film photography in art school I quit long before I got the chance to experiment with dodging and burning. I'd love to watch a film on how the process was done back then - but .... I guess it was too dark in the dark room to film hehe.
Thank's Sean... Amazing amazing amazing.
wow, finally i can dodge and burn. Thank you.
Awesome tutorial on Doge and Burn. Comprehensive, straight to the point, practical to apply and very well delivered.Sean, thank you for shearing and for the time you put in preparing these videos.
Thanks a bunch Sean. Love it!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much!!
This was really helpful. Right level of detail and good examples to work with.
Great video as always, Sean. Looking back at the old D&B techniques brought back a slew of memories from my darkroom days 50 years ago. Thanks!
Superb. Just how much difference the smallest edits make to the images is amazing. Less is most certainly more. Thank you so much for sharing, Sean.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely perfect. Glued to the screen.
All these years, I never knew that’s what those little icons were, your work here is done👍. The rest was pretty good too 😁. Really liking the lighting of the room.
That is SOOO helpful, thanks alot Sean!
Brilliant and dark at the same time if you get my pun! :-)
Thank you! Very very well explained!
Sean, let me just say that watching your videos are quite a pleasant journey! Thank you for all your insights both on techniques and mindsets levels. It's a pleasure to grow as an artist with your words, recommendations, and thought-provoking remarks. I'm so pleased to be one of your subscribers! Please, keep your videos coming as your audience is ravenous for much more! :)
I feel the same. Maybe one day he talk about how to drive a car and I will listen to him. It is super pleasant.
Thanks my friend.
Best D&B tutorial ever! Thank you Sir!!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for explaining different approaches to dodging and burning.
this is the most amazing photography channel I've encountered! thanks for sharing your knowledge, skills and thoughts!
Sean, once again a totally useful and informative tutorial. For years, I have obsessed about light and shadow even to the extent of studying the old masters of light and shadow (Vermeer, Rembrandt, Renoir, etc). So, these types of tutorials are highly valuable to me. I especially like the way you recap everything at the end because many times small tidbits of info blow by so quickly. The recaps are something I have not seen in many tutorials - so thanks for that...Excellent...loved every minute.
This information is like gold for a technophobe like me. Thanks Sean.
Thank you for a really good tutorial! A few different techniques that works great is way better than an avalanche of different techniques that you instantly forget!
I really needed this, thank you so much.
Great advice and editing, videos always appreciated Sean.
Now this will come in handy, thank you!
Outstanding
Very nicely done. Thank you.
Top drawer content and presentation. Thank you Sean for a "game lifter".
Sean, thank you so much for this video!
Thank you, amazing tutorial.
Interesting and Informative once again, thank you Sean.
Sean, thank you for sharing this tutorial, this is so helpful!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you, Sean!
