    Sean I really appreciate that you do all your tutorials in Photoshop instead of Lightroom because I can take what I’ve learned and apply it to other applications.

    Been using the filters in Silver Efex for years. I used to help produce the image as I envisioned it. As far as b&w film, I have always been partial to Tri-X and still use on occasion today.
    You did a nice job detailing your procedure as the comments indicate.

    Thanks so much Sean! Brilliant like always. As someone who has been practicing for a while but am still not content with where I am in my own portraiture I would love to see a video from you about angle of light and light placement. With one light and a modifier and possible two lights. I love how you place the rim light right across the cheek. I know you are busy but just an idea. Thanks so much for everything you do.

    Hello Sean. Great video as usual. Just a quick question since idk when I'll be able to check it myself. If we use a gradient filter on a coloured photo, and then blend it for luminosity, will it work to bring up some contrast? I really liked what it did to the b&w image.

  • @scothowe539

    Sean, I admire your photography and videos a lot, however I liked the image that you started with ie. desaturated BW , more than the one we got to later, which I felt was a bit too dark.

    • @mato_2000
      @mato_2000 Před 2 lety +1

      I think he more so showed the tools he uses rather than going for a final image. In most cases youd probably work with masks etc. Turning down the reds for exampel did make the lips a bit to dark. Also, the eyes got a bit lost in the shadows. Two easy things to control with masks. Take your hands and cover the faces on the side by side, look at the hair, forehead, shirt and background. Do you still like the first one better? Maybe.
