So now that you’ve seen his work, let’s learn how to get a similar result in any picture of yours.This is the closest I could get to decoding his editing style.
  • Brandon’s pictures are a bit underexposed so that the details in the neon lights is preserved. To bring out the face and the model from the shadows, we have to change the following things: Highlights to -33, Whites to +57 and Blacks to +100.
  • To get similar tones of pink and blue hues, we will work in the Camera Calibration settings. On the right panel, scroll down to the Camera Calibration and make the following changes:
Shadows Tint = -100
Red Primary: Hue = -21 , Saturation = -2
Green Primary: Hue = +14 , Saturation = +57
Blue Primary: Hue = -100 , Saturation = 0
  • His pictures have a hint of softness in them which we can achieve by reducing the clarity to -7 and Luminance to 12. You can find the Luminance slider under the Noise Reduction tab on the right panel.
  • To balance the Blue Hues, go the tab that says HSL/COLOR/B&W and select colour followed by selecting the colour Blue. Set its Hue to +44 and luminance to +69.
  • Finally, to brighten up the face, use a radial filter with the invert mask box checked, so that the changes we made are applied inside the circle and not outside. Increase the sharpness to 70 and increase the warmth to +7.

What is it like feeling empowered? If you want to know if you feel empowered, ask yourself three questions: Can you do it? Will it work? Is it worth it? If your answer is yes for all them, you feel empowered. This is based on research. One feels self-motivated, competent when they receive recognition for their hard work. We are controlled by our consequences, we think so much before doing what scares us that the fear starts to drive us. Believe that you have a choice of not doing it, it will make you feel relaxed and self-motivated. There is nothing that you can't do if you have made up your mind on it. You are the universe's most evolved and advanced species, there is no one smarter, more intelligent or ahead of you. There might be some difficulties in your way, but let me tell you, these difficulties make it worth so much. Because nothing having worthwhile, comes easy. Obstacles mean you're going the right way, you just have to keep on going in that direction,...
