I am so excited to finally be coming out with my Black Background Tutorial!!

This is my full, in-depth, tutorial on how I edit my black background portraits. This 50-minute video tutorial walks you through my full process from start to finish. As an added bonus, I go over my posing guide in detail with you all! Included with your purchase will be the full tutorial and the posing guide PDF. Additionally, I will be open at any time to answering any questions you might have about black background portraiture, free of additional charge. I want this to be the ultimate opportunity for photographers to take their Black Backgrounds to the next level, and to keep improving upon their style.

I start the tutorial by showing you what I do when I come home from a shoot, and how I organize my photos in lightroom for efficiency. Then, we go over my Posing PDF together, and I give my additional insight! Moving over to the actual editing fun, I will edit a photo from start to finish with you, explaining every step that I take!

I will go in-depth on how I color correct in lightroom, how I remove photo halters from my images, how I edit a full-body portrait to make it look natural, how I edit the horse’s eyes for my signature look, and how I add definition to the horse’s coat, among so many other helpful tips!

The course is available now for $250

 FAQs

 

  • Basic knowledge of Lightroom and Photoshop is recommended, as I walk through how I use each tool for my own black backgrounds, not how to use each tool. Before purchasing the tutorial, I would practice with Lightroom and Photoshop to get a basic understanding of how to navigate and use the apps.

  • This tutorial is perfect for any level of experience with black backgrounds. Included in my posing guide is a photo and explanation of how I set up my black backgrounds. With that knowledge and the knowledge about how to edit your portraits, you should be well on your way to stunning black background portraiture!

  • This tutorial is designed to not only show you how I edit my portraits, but hopefully, it will help you to find your specific style and/or improve on it. I was completely self taught with black backgrounds, as I never thought about purchasing education. However, even after I started offering black background portraiture, I started looking into education and purchasing educational resources from anyone and everyone! Since then, I have seen a huge improvement in my work, even in areas I thought I had mastered. I still plan on taking advantage of any education that I can get my hands on, as I am always surprised by how much I can improve upon my work!

  • Yes! I edit a headshot image all the way through, but I also take a full-body image into photoshop and show how I create a natural fade of the black background, how I clean up the floor, etc!
