⁠A NEW SERIES to take us into Spring 🌱✨⁠

⁠A NEW SERIES to take us into Spring 🌱✨⁠
⁠
When I moved to Canada, we brought with us less than five cookbooks and a few magazines.⁠
⁠
One of those was a Donna Hay magazine that had a series of recipes that used green a black. I loved the colour palette the minute I laid my eyes on it.⁠
⁠
This past January during my time off, I did a series with this colour palette. I was really fun to think about subjects that would work for this theme, but would also be unique and creative.⁠
⁠
Over the next week, I will be sharing the series I've been working on. I hope you enjoy it!⁠
⁠
The first one is PASTA PRIMAVERA with SPINACH FETTUCCINE 👌🏻⁠
⁠

Both of these images use green, blue and yellow tones. Just in different ways (and inversely even!) 👉🏻 💚 💙 💛⁠⁠
⁠⁠
There's so much colour in food photography that we often seek to find colour in our subjects over post-processing. This martini shot is actually very colourful compared to the raw file. YES, even a clear liquid can be colourful. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Did you know that @lightroom offers nine different tools for us to add, enhance and adjust colour?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
😱 🤯⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I find this incredibly exciting because more tools mean that you can find unique combinations to suit your story. That's really the secret to finding your secret editing sauce (as I like to call it).⁠⁠
⁠⁠
To demonstrate this, I updated a lesson in Lightroom Magic to show how you can colour BOTH a colourful image (like the next shot) and a seemingly colourless image.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Today is the last day to enrol in Lightroom Magic & SAVE $40 and get pay-in-full bonuses.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Let's create magic together ✨⁠⁠

FREE LIGHTROOM MAGIC LESSON ✨⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Textu

FREE LIGHTROOM MAGIC LESSON ✨⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Texture in food photography is very important. Rich details giving hints to what the food will taste like and the experience we'll have eating the food is key.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So when there are tools in @lightroom that help us accentuate texture and detail in food, it's important to harness them.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The two sliders I'm talking about are the Clarity & Texture sliders. Use them well, and you can elevate food. Use them incorrectly, and you risk turning off your viewer.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you've been wondering if my Lightroom Magic course is for you, I'm sharing A FREE LESSON: TEXTURE vs CLARITY.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Get to know how my editing brain works, see if you like how I teach and learn something that will be very valuable, (especially to editing foam on cocktails 👉🏻).⁠⁠

Editing RAW files to me is like baking a cake from

Editing RAW files to me is like baking a cake from scratch with access to the most exotic pantry of ingredients.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As I teach a lot of food bloggers how to edit, I often make reference to editing like baking a cake. There are thousands (if not millions) of chocolate cake recipes on the internet. So what makes your recipe special?...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Even though most cakes use similar ingredients, (eggs, flour, sugar), it's your method and the secret spices you add that makes your cake recipe unique.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's the same for editing. Although many photographers use @lightroom, finding your secret combination of tools that give you a unique flavour (your style) - that's where your power lies.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In Lightroom Magic, you don't just watch me edit. I'll empower you to find your method and secret sauce.⁠⁠

At the end of 2016, I'd just finished my first yea

At the end of 2016, I'd just finished my first year of freelance. Instead of celebrating, I was burned out.⁠
⁠
It was a challenging year, to say the least. Hustling my butt off to find clients and make a living. All while grieving the recent loss of my mother in law.⁠
⁠
I was fatigued, burned out and depressed. Burning the candle at both ends, I had no choice but to take 3 months off from the business I'd just spent a year pouring everything I had into it.⁠
⁠
Amongst feelings of misery, grief and failure there was one thing that was still burning inside of me. I'd had this idea to create some kind of training about how to edit. I could not shake this idea.⁠
⁠
[To this day, I think it was the universe's way of forcing me to work on that idea.]⁠
⁠
So I bought a notepad, (one I still have today. It moved with me from Australia and it currently lives under my bed), and I spent the next 3 months writing my ideas down slowly.⁠
⁠
I never set out to turn this into a business. I just wanted to share my passion for post-production with others. 125 photographers joined me when the course opened, and over the years that's turned into over 1,000.⁠
⁠
My biggest joy by far is having a photographer's frustrations and overwhelm turn into joy, satisfaction and achievement.⁠
⁠
Success doesn't lead to happiness. Happiness leads to success. I found success the first day I worked on this project, simply because the act of making it made me happy.⁠
⁠
Thank you to everyone who's let me share my passion with you X

Editing has always been a HUGE passion of mine 🤓 👉🏻.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
From the very beginning, it felt like I could take a paintbrush and paint magic onto my images. I was trying to think about my earliest memory of post-production and why I liked it so much.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I think it's because in those early days I had much more control over editing than other aspects of food photography.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I am a terrible baker, my cakes failed all the time. Food photographers have to work quickly with food photography and when we're starting out there is just SO much to create to get *the shot*. Whenever I'd get the styling right, the light would change. If the light was good, the food has started to dry, flop or sink.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But with editing, I felt like I was in the driver's seat.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
A love affair happened from there. My passion led me to teach over 1,000 students how to edit. Both in my Lightroom Magic masterclass and at conferences.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I can't wait to share more of that love affair this week ✨⁠⁠
