I only use LightRoom right now, since a lot of my photos are wildlife I mostly just change the shadows and highlights, but I also use the cloning tool a lot. Like when I got a photo of a owl a few weeks ago, there was a stick right next to him that was very distracting, so I just remove it. 😉
I will be learning how to composite soon. My Mom just finish a novel, and I said I would photograph/make a cover for it. I have no idea how, but that’s when YouTube comes in. Do any of you know of a good “How to” video on compositing?

Thanks for the links to jessicatruscott.weebly.com and jenbrook.com they do wonderful work! 🙂

One tip I have for look development. If I run out of ideas on what direction to take on a photo, I run a series of PSD actions on my image. It will give me about 15 new adjustment layers that all do different things like tints, light fx etc. I then turn them all off and start switching them on one by one. Usually some of the layers will improve some part of the image so I paint in the best of those layers. It’s a really fun way of exploring what can be done to the image. Just be careful to to over cook your image. 🙂

When someone directed me to your beautiful art, i was like wow, your are truly tells a story. I love to use photoshop and to take photos as it calms me down. I use to only do my art when i was happy but after seeing one of your videos i decided to put my feeling in to my art and i found i was more expressive within my work. I love your art brook it is dark but beautiful and tells a story. after seeing some more of your passion videos and tutorials i love your use of textures and the use of colours. So now i have implemented that in to my images. i cant wait to see what you come up with next. I believe in being different and not be a follower a sheep so i be an individual. Keep doing your great work. 🙂

And a great gif too! I really like! My process is usually shoot the model and then make others shoots to make the mounting of the final image. Sometimes I try to do everything in one shot. Then I work de colors, shadows…. The basic! And always end up with a texture. This can sometimes be one of those that you dispose for download. To tell you the truth, I’m not sure how much I can say I have a method or process already cemented! I’m always learning new things that I try to apply in my images. And much of these new things I learn from you. So! Thank you! XOXO

I think that the gif was a great choice to show the process. To me, it is even clearer than video. I am always amazed to see the way you work Brooke. About my process and methods…it changes a lot depending on the image. Con Amor, Lu

Fantastic tips! I try to shoot my subject in one frame too…this time I failed because the image where she was in one image altogether was out of focus, hehe! I love how you say you make the eyes brighter – something I almost always do as well, and really helps draw the focus in. Thank you for sharing!
