Editing a portrait in Adobe Lightroom

A couple of videos showing how I might approach a 15 minute portrait edit using only Adobe Lightroom. Image was supplied by Trish Love-Lapico. I don't usually use Lightroom for a lot of detail editing - i.e. skin and other pixel-level edits, which are more efficiently done in Photoshop. It is helpful however to see what Lightroom can offer. Shout if you have any questions.

Vogue/GQ photography workshop

I went to Blacksmith Studios in Brisbane yesterday to take part in a photography workshop run by the publishers of Vogue and GQ magazines. The sponsor was Olympus and they put on a good event.

There were 3 studios we all rotated through, each with a talk and shoot by 2 people who work on the magazine. The most interesting part for me was the discussion with the art directors about how they go about planning the shoot, the story boarding process and bringing together the creatives to make it happen.

All images below using the Olympus OM-D E-M1 with Panasonic 12-35 f2.8 lens.

And.... Olympus gave us each a cute little keyring. Nice replica of my E-M1, complete with rotating lens barrel!
