Dodge & Burn | Bread & Butter

Dodge and burn are my “besties!”

This technique is one of the oldest, most versatile and arguably the most powerful techniques that exists in high-end photo retouching.

When done properly, it’s non-destructive and can fix, shape, smooth and completely change the way an image looks.

Sometimes for the better; sometimes, ehh.. not so much.

The concept is simple, the ways you can apply it are limitless, and in this quick video I will show why it’s useful to know in a pinch.

Practice makes perfect and there are no shortcuts to learning this. I know — I’m sorry.
