In my Live Edit videos, I share my entire start-to-finish workflow using a photo that I’ve never worked on before. Mistakes, switchbacks, and wrong turns are all part of the video - that’s where the learning happens! Watch over my shoulder as I work on a new image. You’ll hear the thought process and the artistic choices that drive the post-processing adjustments applied.

In this live edit I work on a cityscape photo from Lucerne, Switzerland. A lovely view of the Chapel Bridge at blue hour. Work starts in Lightroom and then I use ON1 Effects to finish off the photo.
