Portrait Photography Post-production Class
(Adobe lightroom)
In the film era, photography placed great emphasis on the choice of film, because each brand and type of film has its own unique color rendering, so the colors produced by traditional film photography are more humane and have their own unique style. In the digital age, the color expression of cameras is relatively simple, so the personal style of the photos needs to be expressed in the color processing during post-production.
Photo post-production is usually based on the following three reasons:
Mix your favorite colors to express your personal style (Lightroom)
Correct problems that occur during shooting, such as color temperature/exposure/high contrast, or optimize the overall photo feel to highlight the subject or theme (Lightroom)
Retouch portraits to achieve perfect details and change the content of photos to create special effects (Photoshop)
Our Adobe Lightroom post-production class mainly allows students to understand how to use Lightroom's various adjustment tools to adjust the color of photos to create a better feel and atmosphere for the photos.
