How to EDIT your photos BETTER!

This week I thought I'd share some of the best photo editing tips I've learned over the years - some of which I've spoken about on this channel before. These are not specific to Lightroom (mostly) and are most about theory than technique. Every one of them has helped my become a better photographer, so hopefully they help you too!

Chapters:

0:00 Intro
0:17 Taking stock
2:18 Why cropping helps
4:29 Using breaks to improve your edits
5:55 Easy on the tweaks
6:57 Questions, not answers

If you would like a print of any photo that appears in one of my videos, please email [email protected] with a screenshot of the image you would like, and the size you would like (A4 = £30 or A3 = £50). These prints are signed but not numbered. Thanks for your support :)

Thank you :)
