janedeere Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Hey Damien, I have a seen this style "BEC" photo editing becoming popular and was wondering how to achieve it. I've asked multiple photographers and purchased various courses watching them basically edit without any real explanation to what they are doing and why. I've read many of your posts and have already learned a couple valuable tricks/ tools to use so thanks for that! Anywho, this "bold, emotional, and colorful" style editing what are your thoughts?

janedeere Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 webiste of many photographers using the same kind of style https://www.boldemotionalcolorful.com/ Id love to see how this type of style could look on my images. I'm struggling to be cohesive with editing my images in the same style. here is my website for reference to how back and forth my editing is. www.prettylittlerebelphoto.com I would love to steer clear of the matte filter look and ugly orange/brown color layers/ masks. here is an image of mine to practice on.

janedeere Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 My Windows laptop is not calibrated yet but I will order a calibrator as soon as I can. In the meantime I have compared it to my pro lab prints and found that I needed to adjust it quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Right. Now you should be able to see how your photo (posted earlier in the thread) was too dark. Go ahead and edit it again and post it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janedeere Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 I noticed that a gaming feature had been turned on which made my colors all out of wack, any better now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Still a little too dark, but close enough. Now can you find me a link to an equivalent photo (family in the woods) with the BEC style applied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it has to be equivalent please. The photo you found has light behind them, but yours doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
