Photography: Creative Light and Color Grading

creative light & filter for photography

“Here we are at the end of this Domestika course. Thanks for following me this far! During the course I showed you some of the great secrets of photography, now it's your turn!

Create a mood board of reference images that can help you better understand how to move. Then, make a set using materials, fabrics, walls, corners, places that you like. Place the lights in the right position and set the intensity you want. Observe the scene, how the light moves on the subject, change and adjust all the details that don't convince you.

The portrait Take a few test shots, and if everything is as you would like, continue creating your images. Then edit your work and don't forget to be creative. Don't be afraid to try new things, remember that it's important to find your own style. So, give free rein to your imagination. Now share your project in the forum! Show everyone both the final result and the processing steps, documenting each step with an image and describing what you did with a short explanation. As soon as possible, I will be happy to comment on your work. Look at colleagues' projects and encourage them by commenting on what they have shared: don't miss the precious opportunity to interact with the creative community. Thanks again for taking this journey with me!”
