lighting modifiers, how to create multi-point light with one flash, and MUCH MORE!
QUOTE
I’ve watched other educational videos on lighting, and I find this was by far, the most informative and
entertaining! Amazing work guys! can’t wait for Lighting 201! - Jason W.
I was hesitant to purchase this course, especially after having bought other SLR Lounge products in the
past and never really sitting down to use or watch them. I decided to buy this anyway and watched it
while on a plane flight to Mexico. I have to say -- I learned so much from the first 4 chapters, I was ex-
tremely pleased I bought it! It has made me so much more confident with Flash photography, helped me
understand why I failed so miserably in the past with multiple flashes, and is a good starting point to get
to the next level. As soon as I got home, I set up multiple flashes right before sunset, tried out whatever
I still remembered from the courses, and sure enough: the pictures came out much, much better. In 3
weeks, I’ll have an outdoor wedding to shoot -- I’ll be a nervous wreck since this would be my first one
where flash cannot be bounced off any walls or ceiling. However, with what I have learned through this
course, I am hopeful that this will be one of my best work yet. - Michael Yuen
INFORMATION
Amazing imagery doesn’t have to mean expensive gear. EVERY image in this workshop is created with
just one On-Camera Flash and basic light modifiers making this the most accessible flash photography
workshop and the perfect foundation for light shaping mastery.
This workshop includes 60 video lessons, 9 hours of content, and 74 slides for a quick reference to les-

SHOOTING DIGITAL LIKE FILM
PURPOSE
In this course, you are going to learn to reframe how you think about photography and learn to produce
some of the most exquisite work of your life.
QUICK TIP
Regarding 4 Steps to Photoshop Artistry Using Fine Art Grunge Techniques:
Here’s a mental trick to get you started. Think of some of your favorite shots. But instead of imagining
your photos all printed pretty and perfect, imagine them layered-in and composited with other images
and rendered as a painted canvas.
DON’T MISS…
This short exercise on How Thinking Film and Shooting Digital Can Improve Your Photography
QUOTE
Sometimes we forget that at our core we are ARTISTS. Owning a Canon 5D Mark III rig and enough
lighting gear to stage a Pink Floyd reunion tour doesn’t change that. Just because we spend so much
time trying to capture the perfect shot doesn’t mean that we can’t switch it up now and then and treat
our images (even our mistakes, even our botched shots) as nothing more than the starting point in more
elaborate artistic compositions.
INFORMATION
We all love what digital photography has made possible. But there are elements of film photography we
might embrace which will not only make us better photographers but transform our relationship to the
craft, infusing our work with meaning and renewed passion.
And then too there is the LOOK of classic film photography, which we can now emulate beautifully with
software.

CREATIVE CONTROL 1 & 2
LIGHTROOM PRESETS
PURPOSE
Creative Control 1 Lightroom Presets:
This special preset pack includes 100 presets you can use to completely process your photographs from
start-to-finish. You can selectively edit the colors, tones, contrast, and much more just by working your
way through each sub-set. It’s an excellent way to quickly create a polished image and control the com-
plete look of your photographs, or to make a few changes to any of your existing presets.
QUICK TIP
Shift color with a gradient map
Another way to boost the color in an image is to change it. There are many ways to do this in photo ap-
plications, but one of my favorites is with the Gradient Map adjustment layer in Photoshop. This “maps”
colors to the tones in an image, allowing you to shift the color (or change it completely). You can also
combine it with blending modes to intensify or alter the effect. Learn more HERE.
SOFTWARE NEEDED
This preset pack is optimized to work with and compatible with Lightroom 4, 5, & 6/CC as well as Adobe
Camera Raw 7, 8, and 9 (Photoshop).
**The new “Radial Gradient” presets will only work in Lightroom 5 & 6/CC (they will appear in Lightroom
4 but will not add any effects when applied)
**Both “Linear Gradient” and “Radial Gradients” are not included in the Photoshop ACR pack (ACR does
not support gradient filters with presets)

I think a lot of photographers who have photography as a career also tend to do side projects and the fun
things and things that they love, the travel that they love.
CREATIVE CONTROL 1 & 2
LIGHTROOM PRESETS
Contributor: Nicole S. Young
Because photography is so integrated into life that it would be kind of soul-sucking to do it, just for money. I
think it is important to do it, to photograph what you love.
INFORMATION
Between both of these preset packs, you will receive over 200 presets you can use to process your pho-
tographs from start-to-finish.
You can selectively edit the colors, tones, contrast, and much more just by working your way through
each sub-set. These presets are an excellent way to quickly create a polished image and control the com-
plete look of your photographs, or to make a few changes to any of your existing presets.

other preset pack in the Nicolesy Store.

This is an essential set for any photographer looking to speed up their workflow & add a vibrant editorial
look to their imagery. It doesn’t matter whether you shoot fashion, beauty, lifestyle, portraiture, or wed-
dings - this set will help elevate your portfolio & add an additional level of consistency to your workflow.
QUICK TIP
All of my Photoshop Action sets have been tested on a wide variety of images to help you get the most
out of the collections. Essential Color Set II actions work well with many lighting scenarios but showcase
their results best on images that are more neutral-toned overall. They also work beautifully in the studio
with soft to hard light, making a well-rounded set.
SOFTWARE NEEDED
• Compatible with MAC & PC and Photoshop CS4-CS6 & CC.
• Fully compatible with JPEG and RAW images but best used on RAW image format.
• Actions are non-destructive & customizable (visible adjustment layers & masks).

TUTORIAL
Contributor: Gavin Hardcastle
PURPOSE
This online photography course shows you Gavin’s entire image post-processing workflow with specific
emphasis on how I handle snow and ice. I also show you how I blend multiple exposures to account for
dynamic range and focus stacking.
QUICK TIP
Stop and study the location to visualize your shot. Become familiar with different focal lengths and lens-
es so that you know which one will work best for the conditions.
I also teach my ’20 in 2’ method whereby I take 20 or more really rough and quick shots to see which
compositions work best. Once I know where the shot lives I’ll then set up the tripod and wait for the
best light.
Also, don’t be married to one idea. Be prepared to ditch your first idea and move with the light.
Work with what you’ve got and rinse as much image quality and creativity as you can with your gear. Ex-
haust the capabilities of your gear before upgrading. This will make you a better photographer in the end.
SOFTWARE NEEDED
In Frozen Waterfall Photography video tutorials, Gavin performs the entire process with ACR (Adobe
Camera RAW) and Adobe Photoshop. He uses Adobe Bridge as a file viewer. Recommendation: Have the
latest versions of these three apps installed so that your experience matches perfectly with mine.
The Composition Made Easy HD videos in this course are MP4 video files and will play on any device.

“Ryan is a part of a small group of photographers that are leading the world in landscape photography. This
group of Pacific North West photographers that include some of the biggest names out there are at the cutting
edge, developing new techniques and refining their style insures that the rest of us are playing catch up. Ryan
produces images that break all the rules and takes your breath away. His images are often very dark but have a
strong highlight. Ryan also changed the way we can “paint with light” . Despite being what I consider the best in
the world today, he is insanely down to earth. I have to say I am a little guilty of stalking this guy. I spend hours
looking at his images trying to learn what makes them better than the rest so that hopefully one day I can use it
to improve my own photography.” - Rodney
INFORMATION
Capture the Night Bundle video goes into thorough detail about Ryan’s theory for what makes a great
composition in these dark scenes, the three different ways he captures images at night, and the various
techniques used to process photos taken after the sun goes down!
After that, we wrap up with Arild Heitmann’s video as he goes into the most detailed instruction on the
market for processing your images of the Aurora Borealis. Colors, textures, noise, focus stacking in the

TONE AND DETAIL FOR

PURPOSE
Chris O’Donnell created the Tone & Detail for Lightroom course…because it will grant you absolute clari-
ty on two very important things:
The result? A quicker road to higher quality photographs. And even better, you’ll remove all guesswork
and gain confidence in your own abilities…which makes the darkroom a fun place to be.
QUICK TIP
Black and White Points: Available Tones vs. Actual Tones:
When using curves in either Lightroom or Photoshop, you are manipulating two environments: the avail-
ables tones (what you can change your pixels to) and the actual tones (what the pixels currently are).
The easiest way to understand how this works is to picture your black and white points as brackets. In-
side of these brackets (or the space between the black and white points) defines the tonal range you are
currently working with.

QUOTE
Trying to process an image without knowing exactly HOW to use your tools properly is a lot like driving
with the emergency brake on. Yes, you may move forward…but you’ll go so much faster if you take your
foot off the brake.
TONE AND DETAIL FOR LIGHTROOM
Contributor: Christopher O’Donnell
INFORMATION
If there’s one thing you could do right now to greatly improve the quality of your photographs, it would
be to learn how to PROPERLY use the tools of Lightroom (or ACR) to enhance tone and detail…hands-
down.
Raw processing tools such as the histogram, curves, and your tonal sliders directly affect your contrast,
luminosity, and color…which as you probably know, make up the structure of your image. And the quality
of that structure (or foundation) will affect everything you do in the darkroom.

ESSENTIAL PHOTOSHOP FOR
LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY
Contributor: Nick Page LOGIN NOW
PURPOSE
In these videos, Nick walks through all of the tools, techniques, and workflows that make Photoshop so
powerful.
QUICK TIPS
Latch onto the photographers that are better than you. Figure out what it is that you like about their
photography more than your own, and that will give you a direction in which to improve with your own
work.
Pick on your weaknesses. To improve at anything, it’s all about figuring out what your weaknesses are,
then working at improving in that area. Sometimes it’s a concept such as composition, for others, it’s
just getting out and actually making the time when the conditions are right. Either way, working on your
weaknesses will make you a more well rounded photographer in the end.
Shoot with the future in mind. Landscape photographers are one of the rare breeds that tend to under
shoot. They will travel across the country, or even the world and take 10 photos of a location some-
times. In the beginning, we make lots of mistakes, and later on, when we look at those photos, we often
find ourselves saying… well I will have to go back. When I shoot a hard-to-get-to location, I try to shoot
it in every way I can think of, lots of different compositions, focal lengths, etc. That way when future
Nick is looking at the photo with his superior eye, hopefully somewhere in there I have something that

The Astro Timelapse Guide
This 25-page specialty e-book which teaches you all about astro timelapse photography. The Astro
Timelapse Guide teaches you everything you need to know about how to plan, shoot and edit wide field
astro photography timelapse sequences. It works as a standalone book but can also be used as a bonus
chapter to The Ultimate Timelapse Guide.
QUICK TIP
Free to use software. You can download fully functioning trial versions of all software packages dis-
cussed. The reason I don’t talk about free software is because I couldn’t find a single free app that did
a good job. The goal of this guide is to teach you how to produce the best possible quality timelapses.
There are simply no free apps available that do a good enough job. The exception is StarStax in the Astro
guide, which is used to create star trail images.
SOFTWARE NEEDED
For basic timelapse editing I recommend getting Lightroom and LRTimelapse. You can download Light-
room as part of a discounted photo bundle along with Photoshop.
For the most advanced editing options and complete control over all parameters I recommend Light-
room, LRTimelapse and After Effects. This is what I use on all of my productions.

DARK PROCESSING FOR
PHOTOSHOP
Contributor: Christopher O’Donnell LOGIN NOW
PURPOSE
This 1.5-hour Dark Processing for Photoshop tutorial is jam-packed with information to help walk you
through over a dozen of Christopher’s best processing techniques he uses to enhance colors, tone, and
detail.
QUICK TIP
Check out this article on The Difference Between “Editing” and “Processing” in Photoshop.
SOFTWARE NEEDED
Photoshop
QUOTE
“Dark processing” is a fun technique, and can completely transform the atmosphere of a photograph.
INFORMATION
Dark processing is the art of sculpting shadow around light…where you first darken the environment and
then gently (and purposefully) build up the highlights back into the image.
The result? An ethereal, harmonious environment that is exploding depth and interest by creating around
the absence of light.
• First, we’ll “identify” the creative direction for the image…discussing why this photo makes a strong
candidate for dark processing and the particular challenges we’re going to work on.
• Then we’ll properly prep the raw file by performing some perspective warping to correct for wide-an-
gle distortion…as well as rebalancing the composition for a more effective frame.
• Next, we’ll pull out as much detail as possible by “stretching the histogram”…adding more detail to the
deeper shadows and brighter highlights, as well as minimizing any distractions.
Once our base image is primed and ready, you will then start to carve out the flow and balance of the
composition…how you can lead the eyes through the frame and tell a story through processing.
We will dodge and burn and work on color grading. Using techniques that strengthen color quality and
separation but in a muted way, we will enhance the dark atmosphere, not distract from it.
We will also learn how to build up an image deliberately and gradually through small, but meaningful
shifts in light, texture, and color in a 100% non-destructive environment…as opposed to the usual brute-
force adjustments that tend to destroy the detail.

CATALOG CLEANUP FOR
LIGHTROOM
Contributor: Christopher O’Donnell LOGIN NOW
PURPOSE
Christopher O’Donnell’s Catalog Cleanup for Lightroom course shows you the best tools of Lightroom
for cleaning up your catalog…and how to develop an intuitive system to STAY organized.
QUICK TIP
In reality, the system that will serve you best (and one that you can remain consistent with) is one that
you design yourself. Once you clean up your catalog and develop a game plan moving forward, it’s in-
credibly simple to keep things tidy….and takes just 1 or 2 minutes of maintenance at every import.
SOFTWARE NEEDED
Lightroom
DON’T MISS…
Rename your image files correctly. Many can benefit from this information whether they are photogra-
phers or just need to organize their files in any home PC.
QUOTE
I believe that the uniqueness of the industry is what makes it possible for there to be many professional
photographers and still be able to earn a living by doing what they love. Not every “consumer,” whether
it be a client, student, or an appreciator of art, is looking for the same result, so there is plenty of oppor-
tunity to go around.
INFORMATION
Does your Lightroom catalog need some “spring cleaning”?
This can be a massively overwhelming project…especially when dealing with thousands of images (and
their collections and keywords).
• How to resolve missing images and folders (and how to prevent them from going missing altogether).
• Cleaning up your collections and folders into a sensical order.
• How to organize your keywords in a strategic way, rather than simply adding every conceivable key-
word you can think of.
• How to rename your image files correctly, so you can more easily keep track of them outside of
Lightroom.
CATALOG CLEANUP FOR LIGHTROOM
Contributor: Christopher O’Donnell
• Most importantly…you’ll learn how to stay organized moving forward (so you don’t have to clean up
again) by creating a system that compliments how you think.
Developing the right system (for YOU) is something that naturally evolves over time as you refine your
craft. This means that you probably have a large collection of redundant keywords, disorganized collec-
tions, and perhaps even missing files and folders…..which can grow quite large over the years. Or per-
haps you’re brand new to Lightroom and want to make sure you get things right from the beginning.
So for this module, I’ll be walking you through my ultimate clean-up workflow step-by-step, for a neat
and tidy catalog…as well as showing you several strategies for staying organized from this point forward.
This five-step process is the system that I’ve used for years now, and it’s never failed me.

“Spyros has the ability to teach the beginner, intermediate and the professional photog everything about pho-
tography in a way that so easily understood. He makes it fun to learn, instead of being a drag.” -Chris Noe
INFORMATION:
As a photographer, you can take photos, or you can create images, and there is a distinct difference
between the two.
Taking pictures is grabbing the camera, pointing it at whatever, and taking a photo.
Maybe you’re in auto and you’re literally just pointing the camera and pushing the button. Or maybe
you’re in manual mode and you’ve taken the time to get an exposure value of 0, and maybe you’ve
thrown a bit of shallow depth of field in there, but by and large, taking pictures is just snapping away
without much thought or intention.
Everyone has the right to enjoy photography how they choose, and nobody should ever be criticized for
that; but maybe you want more, and that means you need to embrace the idea of putting more intent
into your work.
Beyond Manual Mode is all about building on the fundamentals to help you do two things:
• To learn more about the camera and how it works so that you can use your camera to its maximum
potential.
• To embrace and extend your creativity so that you make images instead of just taking photos.

QUOTE
Portrait retouching has become a hot-button topic, but if you are using a high quality camera and lens, you
often capture much more detail than you would ever notice were simply chatting with your subject over a cup
of coffee. In my opinion, subtle retouching is as essential as good lighting and wearing make up for a shoot. I like
to reduce the appearance of pores, soften any discoloration under the eyes and clone out any stray hairs from
the face.
INFORMATION
These 20 Beautiful World Vignettes actions are stackable and they do not flatten your image. You can
change the opacity, blend, or use them in combination with other actions to fully customize to your per-
sonal editing taste.
