Live Edit! Unscripted & Uncut - In Post #538

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 edition, I process a great travel story in Death Valley of an orange van driving down a winding road with the Badwater Basin salt flats in the distance. I start my editing in Lightroom and do finishing touches ON1 Effects.
