I’m excited to announce my second educational video with Fstoppers, Photographing The World: Cityscape, Astrophotography, and Advanced Post-processing!

With 20 new lessons and over 15 hours of instructional content that spans 5 countries and 7 unique cities, the creation of this tutorial series has taken us an entire year to complete. The complexity of techniques ramps up significantly compared to the the last (landscape photography) series, as I introduce many new advanced in-the-field and post-processing methods that I’ve never released publicly before.

Using both ancient and ultra-modern cityscapes, I’m able to introduce advanced exposure blending, time blending, and luminosity masking techniques that teach how to create perfectly seamless images from start to finish. With astrophotography, I teach how to capture both the Milky Way Galaxy, as well as long and beautiful start trails while giving each a unique and powerful look.

I also created a section where I sit down and discuss my business practices and explain how I built my photography business into what it is today.

Creating these videos has been a labor of love and has also been one of the most challenging and demanding projects that I’ve ever taken on. The production value is off the charts and I’m so proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish here. I’m overjoyed to see it finally be live!

 

 

Remember, just like my last series with Fstoppers, all the RAW files and PSDs are included in this digital download, so you can follow along step-by-step as I walk you through how I create each one of the images.
