Premium Photography and Post-processing Video Education with Elia Locardi

 

I’ve teamed up with Fstoppers.com to produce a series of premium video tutorials and educational resources. We traveled to Iceland, New Zealand, Italy, Singapore, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Dubai and parts of North and South America, so we could teach every aspect of Landscape, Cityscape, Astrophotography, and Post-processing.

Each edition of Photographing The World is a digital download and comes with every single raw file and PSD so you can easily recreate each lesson from start to finish. Lessons take place both in-the-field and then move into the post-processing phase, covering everything from scouting and shooting each location as well as how to edit the images and create truly compelling visual imagery.

The first tutorial is “Photographing The World: Landscape Photography & Post-processing“. With more than 12 hours of video content, and 15 unique lessons that become progressively more difficult as they go, this tutorial will take you from the on-location capture all the way through my post-processing techniques in the studio and teach you how I manually blend multiple exposures together to create dynamic and powerful photography.

The second tutorial is called “Photographing The World: Cityscape, Astrophotography, & Advanced Post-processing“. This tutorial takes things to a whole new level with 15 more hours of instructional content and 20 additional lessons that quickly ramp up in difficulty as they demonstrate how I seamlessly blend multiple exposures and different moments in time together to create my signature look. This video also includes and introduction to how I developed the business side of my photography.

The third tutorial is called “Photographing The World 3: Advanced Cityscapes.” With 14 new lessons, this tutorial ramps up in complexity once again and focuses on ‘Blending Moments in Time,’ where I take a series of photos captured all the way through sunset and blue hour and combine them together into one seamless image. This process is designed to encapsulate the entire memory of a location, from the vividness of an epic sunset, to the beautiful soft artificial lights of a city or town. Though it can be a highly digital process, I walk you through step-by-step and show you how fun and easy post-processing can be. In addition, unlike previous tutorials where I use 3rd party plugins to achieve my signature look, this time everything is done entirely with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. With precision and the highest quality output in mind, every technique learned can be applied using a fast and efficient 100% manual workflow that relies on no third party plug-ins. Whether you’re showing your work in an online portfolio or preparing images for high resolution printing, this workflow is designed to help empower you to get the highest quality and most seamless results possible.

The fourth tutorial is called “Photographing The World 4: Advanced Landscapes, and with 15 more lessons that take you from the deserts of The Southwestern United States to the enchanting mountains of Patagonia, this is by far the most comprehensive and advanced landscape photography tutorial ever created. Much like Photographing The World 3, each lesson in this tutorial relies 100% on a combination of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop without ever using a 3rd party plugin. From blending multiple exposures, blending different moments in time, seamlessly replacing skies, or applying advanced luminosity masking techniques, every technique both in-the-field and in post-processing is broken down step-by-step so you can easily master each process.

From waterfalls and ice caves in Iceland, to the timeless architecture of Rome Italy, to the top of Victoria Peak in ultra-modern Hong Kong, to the amazing mountains of Patagonia, and even under the dark star-filled skies of New Zealand, Photographing the World has something for everyone interested in dramatically improving their landscape, cityscape, astrophotography, and post-processing. Whether you’re new to photography or a seasoned professional, there is certainly something valuable you can learn from this diverse collection of tutorials. Click on each thumbnail to find out more.
