Thanks y'all for watching! I hope you have found this helpful and inspiring to get out there and try new ideas with very approachable setups and techniques!
this is so sick i’ve been looking for stuff like this. the brent mckeevers style would be sick to breakdown as well, the sephira and kenzin shoot + the yeat photos are my favorite
Hey I love the video. it was very informative. I recommend you starting a series on "How to shoot like" and recreate established photographers. It would help blow up your TH-cam.
Just found your channel off this video! Looks like this is your best performing one so far. Would definitely continue on this subject as I don't think there are many fashion photographers doing this on TH-cam. Great video. Just followed.
I really appreciate that, man. I noticed that not a lot of people describe how they shoot their work and so I’m going to do my best to tackle that niche. New videos in the works as we speak! Gotta round up MUAs and Stylists and Models!
Great job! I would offer doing your color grading in capture 1. It’s super fast and efficient and you can save your style presets! Then import and do your touch ups in photoshop
Im so glad you enjoyed it! I’m working on a new video right now! I’ll check out your guy and add them to the list, look out for a new video in the next three weeks
When I talked to Sam Dameshek about Jack's work he told me he talked to Jack and he told Sam he would sometimes use up to 15 strobes for one single shot. So yeah, kind of hard to replicate.
When you’re using 15 strobes, at least 10 of them would be used for gobos, background fill, gelled color rimming etc. you aren’t going to shoot 15 at a model because that would be useless
Hey man, great tutorial! A little tip on the gradients distortion, before you edit your pictures in PS make sure you're working in 16 bits (not 8) and after all manipulations just add 0.1-0.5 noise on final picture, you should be good ;)
I triggered all lights in separate groups. The key light was always 1-2 stops above the others maxing out at 1/2 power I believe. The key and fill were the same distance away from subject at all times 👌🏼
She definitely used a non-toxic oil for the skin, but I can't remember if she used paper ashes or black eye shadow to streak onto the oily skin. I imagine either would work.
I don't like to use the shadow slider as much as I like to use curves adjustments. The shadow slider covers wayyy too much range of light for precise editing. Try using curves and small blacks adjustments before you lean on large shifts like shadow :). Remember I dont use any sliders in this video besides HSL color adjustments
Amazing video man I learned a lot thank you , if you can advice me , i have Fujifilm GFX100S and will switch from PC to mac , and suggest you have for me which laptop to get and my max budget is 3000$ i don't mind refurbished laptops as well just need a decent laptop to handle the files on photoshop
I use a 64GB MacBook Pro M2 from 2023. It has held up extremely well (in a year lol) I haven’t had any issues with it and RAM usage with photo editing seems to be minimal. I’d make sure that your hard drives are faster also. I noticed that my LaCies aren’t quick enough to handle tedious editing work on even 45mp photos when I have seven + open so I’m moving over to Samsung T9 and Sandisk Extreme pro 4TB which work REALLY well. I hope this has helped.
is the generative AI fill you used for the helmet a new feature for the latest photoshop? I haven’t updated my creative cloud yet and i’m not a pro so idk every feature yet lol
Yes it is included as a feature as well as auto background removal and subject selection. These things will save you soooo much time for more meticulous edits :)
Just a thing to note, since you did the flattening s-curve in photoshop, you had less data to work with. Photoshop doesn't work directly with the raw file, rather it rasterizes and compress it to something that's more readable as a layer (idk what it exactly does, but it's not the direct raw) - this is why camera raw exists, and also why your base corrections in a raw converter look one way when the image is in it's raw state, and another if it gets applied post retouch on a .tiff or .psd, even if it haven't had anything done except the save. Same thing goes for corrections in camera raw, they don't work the same if an image is brought into photoshop with camera raw, or if it's been brought in and then went through camera raw. So if you really wanted to stretch the file, and retain as much quality as possible, that type of work should be done in your raw converter of choice before importing it to PS.
That’s incredible insight. So my layers were essentially crunching a compressed jpg. If I wanted to achieve the same effect the proper way, I would Ctrl + Shift + A for raw editor on new layers correct? I guess the way I did it is a testament to having a 45MP sensor
@@Brandongorrie Spot on with the jpg crunching, however, the new layer CR would also yield the same compression. It has to be done prior to bringing it into PS as it can't read raw - which is why when you load a raw file by dragging it into PS it goes to camera raw before it lets you open it in PS. So for your workflow it'd probably feel smoothest to do in C1 before photoshop import. If you use curves a lot for adjustments pre-photoshop, and want to retain some of that look work without having to calculate what a flat version of that would be, then another option for opening up more data could be to change the gamma curve in C1 to 'Film Extra Shadow' (Found in the color tab by default in the Base Characteristics menu), as it leaves you with a pretty flat raw. I know that there's a couple retouchers that do D&B almost exclusively in the raw editor for this exact reason too, and some who import multiple versions of the same image to PS with different light adjustments to composite them together. If C1 figures out how to make their masking run as smooth and fast as photoshop it'd probably become an industry standard procedure overnight. Final bonus tip - When you rasterize your adjustments mid-way you compress the image in PS even further. To avoid that, merging layers should only be done at the very end of the PS cycle. The layer stack most retouchers use go Base Image - Healing - DB - Color correction - Look - Final merge, with frequency seperation happening just before the look if necessary, since it requires rasterization.
@@madsterix1125 that’s incredible information. I think I the best way forward is probably flattening the image in C1 and then bringing back into PS to begin with base layer healing and so on.
can i do something like this with my yongnuo 600ex rtii's? I just bought 4 of them on sale and really would like to start trying out creative/stylistic fashion portraits like this
please give me a reason to not have buyers remorse hahaha, since i bought them i've just been reading more and more about those godox lights and how much stronger they are
So I was having to use near full power for some shots with a Flashpoint 600. Because it’s a 60” soft box you need some juice to keep your aperture above F8. You might be playing the ISO game with your camera. I’d go more powerful, or you’ll have to use small modifiers with harder light and less diffusion 😅
Could you please do it about Hugo Comte ? I love his whole 90s looks on his photography, I love and really want to achieve the way he does his backgrounds (it's slightly grey with shadows but still, there is white areas), I think he shots all his imagery on film, but i really want to get that look on digital, + the way he lights his models, their skins shine, and some of his pictures (Bella Hadid for Heaven Marc Jacobs Campaign, for example feels like a 3D shot, because I guess he composes 2 images (Sharp background and the photo of the model) into 1 image, but i could be wrong on that ! Basically I LOVE the general look of his work, the way he lights his set and models ! 🙏🏼
What I did was hold down alt/Optn while clicking the mask to show what the mask looked like over the image itself. To map the contrast of the image to the opacity of the layer mask do this!: Image > Apply Image > Pick the most recent jpg layer/ blend with multiply and apply! To do the reverse mask (switching from highlights to shadows or vice versa) check the "invert" box! I hope this helped!
I tried making presets in LrC about a year ago and though presets are cool, my favorite part about editing is the coloring. Wouldn’t miss coloring an image for anything! :)
The ai for content aware crop is trash. I only use it when the content at the edge is super simple. For instance if you actually look at her left shoe it looks crazy. Can’t wait for that to improve! Thanks for this!
That’s feedback I often have for myself as well! I’m rarely in studio, my style is a bit more run n’ gun + off the cuff - freestyling with musicians (not models) so with more bandwidth going towards directing and improvising; I regularly biff my framing/focus if I’m moving too fast! content aware crop has definitely saved my ass many times 👻
Before all of you start editing like Jack, how about you experiment with your OWN style for a bit? This tutorial was good, but I still don’t see Jack. His work is more than just poppy skin tones, and most of the times is all about the fashion choices, I feel that this futuristic look is not him at all
Great takeaway! Jack makes great use of forced dynamic range in his images and his subject matter. However, his creative choices before picking up the camera clearly dominate his photography. This video was only intended to show lighting and editing techniques. If anything, HarisNukem was doing this LONG before Jack Bridgland was known!
@@Brandongorrie I did not know about Harris Nukem, but after looking at his work it seems like all of his success comes from that type of editing that was trendy in the mid 2010s, he kinda fell off didn’t he?
@@vhs-retro-rampage7216 He may have fallen off, I'm not sure. I'll see feature pages push his work every now and again. What was interesting about him is how often he had gallery showings of his work. I don't think IG was ever his main strategy.
well because thats not how a style develops, look at Piccaso probably the man with the most iconic style, are you really thinking he just experimented a little and then just got it? Oc not, he copied and copied over and over until he had enough knowledge
Can you make a video on gate charlie. I been so curious latetly how does create his vibe and idk if im right but for some reason his shadows look smooth i wanted to know how he does that
Gates Charlie the Paris fashion photographer doesn't have a unique style. He uses a very common photographic edit where the skin is color rich, the black are boosted unto the shadow a little bit, and the overall middle zone is light and follows a general cool/warm palette! This can be achieved partially in pre by stopping down 1-3 stops in camera and boosting from there, or just making sure you meter for skin tones! I hope this helps. When it comes to his subject style and mood, one might argue he uses a documentarian approach to unique work, emulating what Avedon and Newton brought to the table in the mid to late 20th century :)
@@shoot_with_michael Hello! I would recommend looking into the workflows of Evgeny Shishkin and or Chogi Seok as they both have a similar vibrant editorial look. I promise you, this is a very ubiquitous look from Europe to NYC in the fashion/editorial photography world. It may be interesting to make a more general video on the "editorial" editing style that would clarify how to reach that nice harmony between color accurate images and very flattering light with great posing and composition!
@@Brandongorrie Yes that video on that would be great and very usefull. Also maybe a video on that 'Europe to NYC" style would be another cool one. Very curious and interested to see what more you upload
Like anything, if the value of the art is strictly aesthetic, then it is empty! Bridgland's work offer's little in the way of emotional, moving narrative, but presents high-end commercial goods incredibly well!
