Lighting + Color Correcting/Grading Tutorials This one is a huge tutorial, actually 11 wrapped up into one. 11 objects were photographed using different lighting setups and I will demonstrate in details how each were done on video. Then I go through how I color corrected/graded in Photoshop each of the 11 photos. The entire goal of this tutorial was to build the cheapest lightbox possible that would also give you professional results for photos of products you are selling, photos of food for your blog, stock photography, photos for your design business, etc… All the lights used were bought at the dollar store and at my local hardware store for barely any money.

Photo Manipulation + Compositing Tutorial Compositing is a very useful procedure that consist of combining visual elements from separate sources into a single image – it is a process used for many purposes but it is especially useful for creating a fantasy background for your model/character/subject. Compositing is a tool anyone who wants to spice up their images need in their toolbox. In this tutorial, I used compositing to create a burning city with crumbling buildings that served as a backdrop for my post-apocalyptic scene and then I used photomanipulation to transform regular people into the flesh-eating zombies you see in the foreground!

Tone Mapping + Color Grading Photoshop is great for many things but for HDR photos, you’ll need the Photomatix software (which is free if you don’t mind the watermark HERE) – but something else Photomatix does great is tone mapping. Tone mapping is basically about trying to imitate the HDR look but with only using one photo instead of 3+ taken at different exposures. Very useful when you don’t have a tripod around or don’t have the possibilty to have the subject in your photo stay still for a full second. Note that in this tutorial, the color grading was done in Photoshop. Click the link below to learn more. More Details About This Tutorial

HDR + COLOR GRADING Taking 3 photos at different exposures and then merging them (HDR) is key to create sort of surreal images where the shadows and highlights are much less pronounced and more detailed than on your average single-exposure photo. The leading HDR software on the market is Photomatix (which is free if you don’t mind the watermark HERE) and we will be using it for the initial stage of this tutorial. After getting the settings right in Photomatix, we will transfer the image in Photshop where we will do the heavy lifting by increasing the level of details of the photo as well as turning a late afternoon scene into a creepy evening scene.
