🪄 Learn how to edit
Editing is one of the most important skills you can learn. If you know how to edit, you can get beautiful, consistent images from any camera.
I developed my own Lightroom preset system that is designed to add colour, tone, contrast, sharpness & vibrancy to every photo I take.
This is what makes my photos “pop”. When you get my presets, it includes a 30-minute tutorial that breaks down my exact editing process.
💬 Frequently Asked Questions
-
This is difficult to answer, because I change my settings depending on the situation that I’m in. But generally, these are the settings I use:
Focus: Wide Area - then use ‘Human’ or ‘Pet’ for subject tracking.
White Balance: Either leave it on Auto, or manually set it if it’s a demanding scene.
Shutter Speed: Minimum 1/160 for humans, 1/200 - 1/1000 for animals.
F-Stop: For portraits I mostly shoot wide open at f1.4 or f1.8. If there are multiple subjects in the frame, then I adjust this to f2.8-4.5. I’ll also use a higher f-stop like f8 if I’m trying to include more of the surroundings in the photo.
ISO: Auto (Sony has incredible low-light capabilities, plus the grain from Sony cameras is easy to fix in Lightroom - so I never worry about the ISO being too high).
EV Compensation: I use the EV compensation dial to make the image brighter or darker. I typically leave this at -0.3 to slightly underexpose the image.
Drive Mode: Continuous Shooting: Mid - I like to take a LOT of photos, then choose the best ones in post. I get a lot of flack sometimes from other photographers, but this is the best way by far to capture unexpected candid moments (like laughs, giggles and micro-expressions).
