The Six Keys… Why Your Photos Fail!

What if you knew the reasons why ANY  photo fails technically?
Then what if we made that stuff easy?

 

Bear with me and watch because I’ve taught this for a decade, but it’s the first time I’ve made a video on it and I’m going to be detailed. You may want to watch this in full-screen HD on my channel because it’s loaded.

I’m going to show you the 6 keys to amazing image quality that are totally game-changing when you combine them, and when they become second nature you go next level in your photography.

In the video, I also mention the Exposed Workshop and if you want to play with some detail processing presets grab by Filmist FREE pack here.

Yes, the lens and the sensor and your hand’s matter…

That razor-sharp look is not as elusive as you think and getting the most expensive gear does not give you the best photo!

There are those who say the technology is not important with the automated cameras. The results usually show that is not true. Then there are those that focus so much on pixel peeing and technical aspects that the photo lack any heart.

This is yet another area that no one seems to be talking about in the era of digital and AI. But it’s no less important today than it was 50 years ago.

I actually wrote this as an article years ago in the Pro Photo Show days. Over the past decade, I’ve seen it work and become even more confident in these keys to the point where they are second nature. That has allowed me to have the technical aspects in my work while focusing more and more on the art. It’s going to do the same for you if you put these six secrets of photography to work.

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
