great tutorial and thank you for the freebies

Photoshop/Lightroom course?

Portrait

Great instruction.

I have seen that every body does color pictures converted to black and white but apparently nobody knows how to use negatives. Do you know how to handle them?

Why are you guys promoting that AI shit? Prompt the creativ work.. Not how to fake things

And all this at a price 50% higher than DSLRs so that the camera manufacturers can get richer. I shot over 500 weddings with a Hasselblad with no electronics, and a shutter speed control and aperture control on the lens. All my clients loved their photos. It’s not the camera that makes the photographer.

They’re not better as long it’s all full frame

Never thought film would come back? 😊

Yes 😊

You are definetlt one of my favourite photography youtube Content creators, and it's a shame that you are not recognized more, id suggest using trending sounds to get more attention from the algorithm, have a lovely day🧡🍂

Could you use Photoshop's GenAi to create a similar background?

What a dumb video

😅fake

The one you are using to record this video. I think that's the most natural looking image. Whereas the shot in comparison images is highly adjusted and fails to produce the actual image .

Hi Serge, you have helped me with a B&W photo edit like Ansel Adams helped you. Nice to pass along knowledge. On another note, is it true that one can't sell images of the lit Eiffel Tower because of copyright on the lighting or is this just a myth? Merci!

Amazing photos!

This is photo manipulation not a portrait!

I have just about EVERY Tutorial you offer. I really want to be able to go to live workshop in the future. Prefer in the US, anywhere. Please keep me posted.

Great. Keep it going.

don’t edit the bottom part alone. edit both

Great tutorial on dodge and burn ! Love the fact that brushes, linear gradients and radial gradients are used for ' local ' dodge and burn and not global through curves.

Option 3

I call it "Faux-tography"

Great ! But for best compositing you should add a light wrap effect on top layer 😉

Serge what's glove do you use ..?? (Half finger cover) Please help 🙏

Gorgeous shot

Beautiful ❤

It’s helpful and great thank you

The future is AI

Honestly. I like number 2!

My solution would’ve been to move the tripod next to the water and use the water as the dominant foreground instead of the pathway in the first picture. Then shooting in twilight time with slow shutter speeds you can get a nice reflection in the water too.

It’s mid 2024. Looking for my first DSLR. Found a great deal on a Canon T2i…it was $89. Now I can focus the real money on a couple high quality lenses to get me started. But know that it was this video that pushed me over the line on getting that T2i. Thank you for the video!

Sei sempre bravo nello spiegare

You need something to focus on

I feel like the contrast on the sky is too big on this ones.

Sege, would you send the map links to these photo locations in Paris? Thanks

Yes I been doing this. Thank you Serge. I learned this from Kelby

Excellent work!

Truth❤❤

Don't watch "Digital Trump vs Film Biden" (my latest youtube short) if you hate when film photographers get political. Can't beat the latitude of film baby! Subbed!

I still don't like the colors on Sony. Of course you can do color grading, but in general the results are different. One more thing. The light to shadow rolloff on Sony is not so pleasant. I know ppl don't discuss about this in general, but for me it's quite important especially when I shoot people. Of course in my case, using the GFX 100s, the difference is quite relevant.

Thank you! I get to learn a lot from the channel. True sunsets give a nice dynamic range but when everyone is doing it there is no novelty. There are lot of great photos shot in the dark.

Ah so that's what negative space is. I always intuitively gravitated towards framing my photos like this, leaving negative space, rather than filling the space with the object. Very interesting to put names to all this stuff

Love the shot! Could just someone help my logical brain side along as to why this has an negative space element to it? Struggling more with the concept, not the end result here.

Canon

Blue hour, morning or night, is really great for urban photography
