Do you struggle to find your editing style? Or do you think you already have it defined? It took me years to be happy with mine. 😅
Yes, I hate editing. I really only make minor adjustments. I'd rather be out shooting than sitting in front of my PC. I try to get what I want through the lens. I'm tired of over photoshopped pictures, it's a great tool, but many times overdone.
Yet again, another 10/10 for content - encouraging people to be themselves and find their own style rather than "Do this like me!" or "Buy my stuff and be brilliant!" You are such a breath of fresh air on TH-cam Laura, long may it continue!
Awww thank you! 😍 I’m glad you like the video and thanks a lot for such a nice feedback. 🥰❤️
Who else is struggling with liking lots of different styles? I love moody, grainy, blues, but also warm images that glow. I know you can do both, but I worry about having too many different styles, as it makes it harder for my clients to recognise my work. Plus I want my own signature style
I appreciate this soooo much.
The Virgo in me is SUCH a perfectionist so I found myself wrecking my brain trying to figure out how to "properly" edit photos. I kept asking myself "How do I edit correctly if photography is art and art is subjective due to what you like???"
Your channel is truly a Godsend and a breath of fresh air.
I also TRULY appreciate the fact that you're anti- ONE NICHE ONLY. lol
Great tips on using presets to make your work look coherent and creating your own style - thanks for producing this video Laura!
Thank you so much Paul! ❤️ I’m glad you liked these tips! 🥰
good point about Social media Laura, good and concise 7.5mins on pre sets, stylising imagery. Very informative and engaging.
Thank you John! 😊
It was yesterday when I scrolled down to your video and its today I am barely left with any of the videos unwatched. You are a real inspiration and your genuine ideas made me go deeper and deeper. Thank you so much.
I love her!!! She is clear she knows how to explain and motivating as hell😬😬😬😬 plus she is gorgeous 😊😊
I seem to have finally settled into an editing style and I have begun to get lots of comments on the quality of my photography. This is very encouraging even though I only do this as a hobby. I can't seem to get to the point that people want to hire me to do this. Thanks so much for your advice.
Laura…. I really love the video flow with transitions and music. You always provide great tips and suggestions. Your style 🤘🏾. Thank you! 💯
Thank you so much Wise! I’m glad you like it. I’m always trying to improve my videos however I can and keep learning. 🥰 Thank you! ❤️
Great video as always Laura! Super useful and some great tips on how to approach it.
Thanks for the tips, Laura! 😘
I love your work!
Very on point, you got a new subscriber
Thank you so much Rob! 😍 I hope you enjoy my channel! :)
I'm new in photography and learning day by day. @LauraBC your words really inspire me to do more
😍 So happy to read this! I hope you keep it up and I love knowing that my videos inspire you to do more! 🥰 Big hug Elena!
This was so helpful, this is my first time coming across you and I already love your form of editing 😂 I will archive yours
Love your video, fantastic advice and very thoughtful!. I enjoy listening to your accent. Have a great week!
I don't know if I love your content, or your voice and accent more, but they are both so great! :D
I have learned so much from your channel, thank you :)
This video is great information...thank you!
Every educative. Thanks 🎉
Many thanks, Laura, for this video.
I pray that you are keeping very well.
It's 02.17 am here in UK.
GOD bless you.
You have AMAZING content. Keep it up. Seriously 10/10
👍...You are an inspiration, Laura.!! 👍
My own style of photo used for my greeting cards was found by accident (through experimenting with taking pictures of obscure subjects), and editing for them fell into place naturally because it was something generated from my own mind.
Depending on how it's edited, one photo can yield three different images.
Thank you so much! 😍 That’s great! I love how your style just flowed naturally! That’s the best way always. 🥰
I am so Happy that I found you.
I literally looked up How to freelance photography and I saw your video I clicked it. And you gave me exactly what I needed word for word…….I am so extremely thankful I stumbled upon your channel. I have what I can say a pretty good camera for a beginner and a I live to take photos but I just don’t know where to start I have taken so many amazing photos but just with my iPhone but I want to start doing that with my camera. Thank you so so much New Subby!! Definitely going to bing watch your whole channel 😆
wonderful video thanks,
You’re most welcome! I’m glad you liked it so thank you! 😊
Fantastic Video Laura! It really made me think about my own style. And I realized - I don't have one. I don't have a specific genre either. When I look at someone like you. You are 100% an amazing professional photographer with a specific style. And I think that is so important in your field. But if you take someone like me that does it for a passion hobby. Do you feel it is ok not to have a style? That it is ok to play with different ideas and moods? Or do you think everyone should be working for a certain style? I really love your videos.
Thank you ❤
You’re most welcome! 😊❤️
BIG love
I really needed this, and comparing with other's styles is what have been doing, thank youuuuuu so much Laura.
Virtual hugs 🤗🥰 from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬
Amazing! So nice to know that this video helped you Simon! 🥰 Big hugs all the way to Uganda! 😍
@@LauraBC thank you dearie
Hi Laura, love your work. Would you ever make TH-cam Shorts or TikTok videos for quick tips and tricks, or just to share any short experience of yours?
thankyouu
Yay!
😊❤️
love this. Thank you so much for what you do Laura! especially for us starving artists... lol
I don't know why it wasn't obvious to me, but the clarification of not being able to edit low light and sunny photos the same is super useful 😅. I thought there was some magic way of applying a preset and make ALL photos the same. I'm guessing then there must be like 2 or 3 styles one must develop to fit into sunny/low light/night photos, and not just one.
hi one question what is better editing with Lightroom classic or lightroom
Hola Laura! This is exactly where I'm at! Despite of my genre is sports photography, I am trying to create some sort of a "signature" that would identify what I do have in mind. I have found it hard and one of the reasons is that I shoot different sports and each one can't be edited in the same way .
Have been study color theory as I seek at least a criteria to define my (future) style.
...porque, claro, tengo que despedirme en español, ¡porque es lo más cercano que tengo a mi portugués! Abrazazo!
Hola Carlos! 😊 Exactly. When shooting different categories is hard to find a unique style for everything. So it’s good to keep a similar style without having to be the exact same. Un abrazo gigante! 😊
@@LauraBC Muchas Gracias Laura! Un Abrazo!
Laura, do you recommend a specific computer for editing ?
❤❤❤
Last summer, i found myself starting editing my photos in a more dark way! And the last 4 months i think i found my edit style which is a filmy/retro mood, looking like i shot my photos with a film camera...(i was born in 1990, so films were the only way of taking photos for all my childhood and my teenage years, so it's natural i'd be drawn to this mood for my photos)!
Personally i always edit a preset more so i can bring the photo in the result I have visualised and if I like an edit of my own, i save it as png so i can have it saved and it works i can say pretty good!
And as for my food/product photos, my main inspiration is pinterest! In my opinion, it gives the best ideas, and many times i find myself studying these photos
"oh so the light is placed on 10 or 11 and there is a reflector maybe on 6...yeah and maybe some black blocking light on 7" etc so i can understand better still life photography...
Thank you again for this video 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thank you for such a great insight finding your own style! So nice to see how everything came out for you and your work! 😍 I was born before that, so yeah, film is always special for us right? 🥰 I’m glad you enjoyed this video! :)
@@LauraBC it's the art, films were providing! But to be honest I'm not fan of the whole film process! I did it at that post secondary education University I was, i did the best I could but...😬😬😬 Never again! I prefer the digital era 🤣🤝
Presents... I worked many years in Lightroom, but only had small percent success with presets. You need to create you own style, and build it from the ground, so you learn, and know what to change if your preset doesnt work on an other photo. Just my two cents.
What about editing photos without specific color grade? For example; all photos are edited in Lightroom in "natural colors" (greens are greens, not lime/grayish, etc.), but each photo has a unique look that depends on the particular setting.
Example, you shoot one portrait under the neon light, other portrait is in the forest. Each portrait has natural colors but in first one, neon light is edited, more saturated, what not. In other one, green dominates and you make necessary corrections to it.
That’s absolutely ok as well. If you prefer natural colours, that’s your unique way to edit your work and it’s also valid. You don’t necessarily need to colour grade if you don’t want to do so. Having a natural style is also a style. 😊
@@LauraBC Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love looks like your moody greens, I love also brownish tones. Did something like that myself. But I struggle to implement it in various situations. Editing in natural color grade makes stuff more adaptable
Nice. If you know how to create Ai images online than please let us know.
I’ll take a look! I prefer to take them with my camera for now. 😄 But it’s actually becoming a thing.
