Register for the free webinar about capturing stunning colours and achieving an accurate workflow

One of the most important things about photography and a reliable workflow is calibration.
In essence, by calibrating your workflow, you make sure you get the results you need. Not just colours but also black/shadow and white/highlights detail. So register now for the free webinar about capturing stunning colours and mor. And if you cannot attend live, you will receive a recording.

In all the workshops I teach it always shocks me how many people don’t use ColorCheckers, white balance tools, or even take the time to calibrate their monitor. And it’s not hard, it’s in fact such an important part of the workflow that the software/hardware is designed to be fast and easy to use.

In this free webinar in cooperation with our friends from Calibrite I talk about :
Calibration of the monitor
Using the ColorChecker Duo
The differences between the ColorCheckers

How colours interact
Why we use light meters
Using calibration when working with gels

You also get to see 2 “live” photoshoots where I talk about lens flares, filling in shadows with color, and using gels for extra impact to your shots.

And that’s not all.
We end the broadcast with several color manipulation tips and tricks in Lightroom and Photoshop.

When styling and background comes together

Using one of my favorite #clickpropsbackdrops backgrounds, the art botanical for these images.

Sometimes Nadine finds a dress that matches a background perfectly. Together with her styling and poses, she hit the nail on the head! 

I’m using different levels of the red gel to add some mood. As a main light, I’m using a Hensel striplight with a grid and the Rogue umbrella as a fill-in light.


These were shot during the live stream of the Digital Classroom, see the broadcast here, and see how I set this up, plus a complete other set.
