How I’m using Film borders and Textures from Naked Darkroom

Naked Darkroom is my latest pack of real texture and border and here’s’ how I use them.

These work for Photoshop, Affinity and users of layer based editors.

These are a complete overlays pack because the textures are even better and the new darkroom film based borders let you use real edge from negatives, wet and dry plates and integrate those into your finished prints and web files.

I’m including a longer workshop with the Naked Darkroom download, but in this video I want to show you the 101 of how to use textures and borders and how they can improve the final details and artistic character  of any kind of photography.

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
