How to Edit Like ANY Photographer

[@el0blaino]

Fantastically helpful, Sean! You spent time to walk through and talk through your steps - this is one of those "finally I can see myself doing this!" videos. Thanks!

[@seandalt]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the comment!

[@b3ckalaw]

i think this is a great way to develop your own editing style. people think this is just copying, but the true way to just copy is by putting the image in photoshop and copying the color grading instantly through there. however - this way teaches one to actually understand the color grading formula better and then they can make their own adjustments to their personal liking. i think this is perfect for what i need. i have tons of inspo and it's a brilliant idea to literally have the image next to mine when i'm editing. thank you for the helpful video :)

[@seandalt]

Thank you Bec! Appreciate the lovely comment :) Thanks for supporting the channel!

[@rykhen1459]

amen

[@VariTimo]

@@rykhen1459 Things have gone from having a photography style to having an editing style. The light in the scene that you're actually photographing is completely disregarded. No wonder everything starts feeling more and more fake

[@MrShaun_D1]

so its really not copying but more of a teaching way...wouldn't you agree?

[@amberharbour6435]

I can never get my images to look the way I imagine them. This video is exactly what I need! Subscribed!!!

Perfect - a great way of learning how to build your own style once you've figured out what inspires you. Thank you for sharing.

[@ZakiyaM]

One of the most informative and productive videos on editing I've watched. Thank you.

[@ribalhaj]

This is excellent. No one explained it as you did, simply and efficiently. Thank you!

[@seandalt]

Hey Ribal thank you my friend! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the vid and glad it was helpful 😊

[@robynk4525]

This was SO helpful! I have a photographer in mind whose work I greatly admire. Thanks so much for this video!

[@clvolt]

Legit, the best video on how to edit photos I’ve seen in years! Phenomenal.

[@vesimittari]

Great way to analyze referenc picture. RA-mode was new to me. Worth of sharing this video.

[@paulcox35]

I looked for a video like this for so long that I pretty much gave up. This is precisely what I’d been looking for and so much more. Such a simple process too. Thank you so much!

[@TadasPetrokas]

Sean - this is the video that was missing from my "collection". A great starting point to begin colour grading. No fluff, straight to the point. Subscribed. Thank you, sir!

[@seandalt]

Hey Tadas, really appreciate that my friend. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well, much appreciated brother.

[@sunako2863]

I couldn't agree with you more.

[@nunomarques3547]

Man i swear, i've never seen such a good video explaining and giving such good insights to editing. THANK YOU!

[@seandalt]

Hey man thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment as well! Welcome to the channel :)

[@AimaOj.]

I'm not particularly a photographer but this technique is what I came up with when I was learning (still learning) how to edit photos. This video has helped me understand what I was doing even better now. Thanks!

[@rbedson8965]

this was indeed a very helpful video for me personally. I was wondering from where to start either color or lighting as i was confused because of tutorial loops but this is a saver. Thanks a lot.

[@adventurepages28]

This video is golden! Thank you!

[@seandalt]

[@trkstz4535]

Thank you for making this video, I learned a lot and it gave me lots of new editing inspiration!

[@seandalt]

Hey JT, thank you bro! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JanBadertscher]

I really like the tutorial, and I think this framework allows to get your own editing style over time. What I don't care is the "Aesthetics of my feed". Art shouldn't be confined to "look consistent", it should be free. Your photos can look vastly different. It might get you less followers, but you stay true to what you like, not what followers like.

[@seandalt]

Hey Jan, I fully agree with you. Unfortunately, in order to be successful on a platform like Instagram you're almost forced to confine your work to a specific visual aesthetic. Some people break through that of course, but it's not easy as a photographer. This is one of my biggest gripes with Instagram and one of the reasons why I stopped being so active. I don't like feeling confined, and I think this can be very detrimental to new photographers who need to explore different styles.

[@jaimyw.8842]

This was VERY helpful! Thank you!

[@decoff]

you have a good eye and deconstructing the inpiration with the workflow to get a similar look was very well explained and executed. Keep it up..I was impressed you saw the split tone.

[@pishongeorge5541]

Best way to learn lightroom thank bro

[@matteocallisti1100]

Great job, I loved the process

[@youperspective]

This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. I’ve recently purchased a new camera body and regained interest in photography. I’ve always been frustrated that I made great progress in shooting over the years but still haven’t found my own & consistent editing style. This is a great way to get there I think! It will help me refresh my use of some of those Lightroom tools and also learn new ones. For some reasons, Photoshop always frightened me but not anymore 💪🏼 Hopefully that’s not just excitement of the moment and I manage to get there 🤞🏼 Thanks for the video btw. The photographer you chose as a reference has an incredible editing style and that is right up my alley! PS: I started taking photos after discovering 13thWhitness work on Edge of Desire tour video by John Mayer. I then saw his photos, I was blown away!

[@millylobuglio7532]
