In this video I spend nearly half an hour talking about how you can learn to process your photos actually like you want to, rather than just following someone else's script. I take an example from my recent workshop, and use quite simple techniques to make thoughtful and expressive changes to the image.
Creativity should be fun, photography should make you feel good about yourself, not worse. Be your own boss, take control of your own creativity. I'm not here to tell you what to do, only to suggest ways to free yourself from the prison of sameness.

I like how you're not so much talking about a defined "process" per se - but explaining what's on your mind. The reminder about the subtle interactions that occur between settings. thanks for that.
This man has something true and his art is reflecting it!! Big thanks for making these UA-cam videos 🙏🙏
Thank you so much, I love your positive attitude. I am so over social media , its such a waste of time. Love to express my self in my pictures, it always makes me happy to go out and shoot. Looking forward to your other videos.
This was fabulous! Thx so much. Being “different” is where it’s at….for me….it means being an Artist - not just a photographer. There is a big difference in the two. Well done,
Been watching your channel for a while now. You are the first person I heard say to play around and be creative in your editing. I also struggle with the healing tool in Lightroom, and I have enjoyed your teachings so much that I bought 2 of your ebooks and your dodge and burn masterclass. I feel I connect with your teachings, you are just you. That is one of my mottos, there is nobody who is you-er than you., Love your music and all-around just love your style.. Although I love all photography, landscape is by far my favorite. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I hope to be as good as you are one day
One of the most impactful videos I have watched.
Excellent guide to not processing with a computer but processing with the mind and heart. I usually follow a rhythm rather than a process per se. I typically add my contrast with the tone curve to set the white/black point - it is usually the first thing I do. However, I make sure that I am in sync with the photograph. I can’t make a shoe fit to all feet. Each photograph has its own “score”, and I must maintain a rhythm natural with the scene. I have been learning this the hard way for years now, but I have come to understand processing as more of an experience rather than a technical exercise.
Thanks, Alister. Your passion is infectious and motivating.
Thanks, Alister for a practical guide to how one might process an image in Lightroom. I definitely will replay this video when I'm stuck for ideas. That said, I think that I always will be one who enjoys the experience of being out in the field exploring the possibilities of composition (self-expression, if you will) than fiddling with an image in post.
I really enjoyed this video. The added cheriness is good 😊.
Much food for thought. I have always been very formulaic in my processing so you've certainly left me with many things to consider.
Great video Alister, I am finding your tutorials so enlightening, filling in gaps and guiding along the journey of self discovery in my photography and as in life a willingness to embrace change and evolve as an artist. Many thanks (:
Excellent substitute for the creative community influence I am currently without due to COVID isolation and advancing age. Thanks!
I enjoyed your approach to editing and it will help me in my own process. Thank you!
To be honest when I started to watch this I was almost a little 'disappointed' because I was hoping you'd pick a photograph that looks 'more interesting' as an example for processing. Over the course of the video I became more and more amazed as to what you can make out of such a seemingly simple photograph. Really love the end result and it was fascinating to see how you got there!
Another thought provoking video, thanks Alister.
Thank you so much. Been waiting for this for a long long time.
Great content as always, Alister! I always enjoy watching you process photos not because it gives me rules on how to do it but because it reminds me to be intuitive and switch off the "mental checkbox" we tend to create without even knowing.
Thank you so much for this valuable lesson.
Absolutely brilliant Alistair, been looking forward to this since Sunday! Your channel should have far more subs than it does! I was on the conversation you had with The Photographic Eye a week or so ago, absolutely love this side of photography, far more engaging than a '5 tips to do this' or 'don't do this' looking forward to the next one! All the best 👍
