These look great, man.
Loool, thanks Matt!
Tell that to Ansel Adams! Hahaha :-)
@@thedondeluxe6941 yup ansel did some major burning & Dodging on his negatives. But i gotta agree with Matt here; with so much editing why bother shooting film? Especially color film. Save yourself the expense & just shoot digital for color.
Yeah, I totally agree actually. Was just trying to be funny!
If I use film, it's for the specific look of the film stock. And I usually prefer making analogue prints from film negatives anyway. If something needs a lot of adjustments, I shoot digital.
@@waltercardenas8727 except matt was being sarcastic because he edits his film too
Appreciate that you’re willing to not only show people how you edit but explain why you make certain edits. I know it’ll help a lot of the newer photographers.
Glad to hear
This is the best photo editing video I’ve watched. Your explanations are always clear and concise and leave me with a better understanding. Love the way you went over split toning too. Can you do a more detailed tutorial on metering for film? Metering for shadows vs highlights and all that. When and how/ the steps? When to overexpose by a stop or two or when to just shoot at box speed based on the lighting? / Your logic and reasoning for common situations that would help new medium format shooters
Thanks! Sounds like a great idea
Willem Verbeeck please do!
@@WillemVerb Hi willem, did you ever make this video? Could you link up?
Willem you are the most informative and comprehensive photography channel. You have clear passion, and each video is so well made and interesting. Thank you!
Thank you
You should put out a course on Lightroom, the way you explain things is really nice.
I've never understood the idea of people not editing their film. Like...what do you think people were doing in the darkroom... Now we just do it on our computers!
KonnorwithaKay It is essential
It's just different strokes and where you put your emphasis on the process - when I was in school it was all the rage to use a filed negative carrier to show your natural borders, in part illustrating that you got the shot in camera rather than cropping after the fact. Maybe dumb but it became an important piece of how many of us worked.
On the rare occasion that I shoot film, I do very little processing - because for me the act of using film as I captured it is the point of going through the cost and trouble.
Right ? People clearly don't understand what goes on during the developing process. Like i said before a lot of people think they know a lot until they do.
This comment just made me realize why it’s called “Lightroom” 😂 I never thought about it
The split-toning section opened a whole world for me. Thanks for the video. As always, awesome stuff. Cheers!
In love with the first two images, they look like an album cover for blood orange!
I'm stunned people act like film should not be edited. All the masters used development tricks to make their photos the way they were. As you were Willem. You're a young passionate film photographer, doing what was done in the past, with a modern twist. Keep it up.
liked how face-paced this video was, no time wasted, just straight what you do and how. looking forward to more!
Dude, you nailed it. Thanks for the easy easy easy explanations of what you were doing and WHY you were doing it.
so stoked to see the Duckwrth video!
Willem, you are such a good educator , a part of being a fantastic artist and beautiful human being!
Hi Willem,
I’m Frederik!
Our common friend Wesley told me to check out your channel. He helped me pick my first Film Camera (Canon AE-1) last week and we documented it all for a video coming soon :)
But I've only shot one roll of film, so I'm a complete noob. I’ll brew myself some coffee and binge watch your film tutorials!
Sounds like fun!! Thank you
2 of my favorite photography youtubers 👁👄👁
the best film photography channel.
No. Just no.
Ted Forbes talks photo history, technique, gear... without the trendy Instagram stuff that fucking ruin photography. There many better photography channels, I don’t say this one is bad, but it’s not the best
One of my favorite for sure! My go-to for film hands down.
Tom so why are you watching this channel lol, you must take a thing or 2
Love how you explain your reasoning. I think that does more than anything else to help budding photographers (aka me) pull away the core principles for their (my) own photography. Cheers
Best photography channel no cap
Your channel is exactly the kind of thing that I was looking for. The content is golden and very refreshing compared to some other photography channels on yt. Keep it up!!
@williemverbeeck I really like how you explain the process of taking pictures and pre and post production, many photography channels just tease and talk circles about things that don’t matter.
I spend my sunday afternoons waiting for your videos, and to be honest I'm never disappointed
Sunday 11AM ONLY 😤
Only real ones know this video was uploaded a couple of days ago and deleted instantly.
❤️
i saw that one and i was so confused that it said recent.
sameeee haha got the screenshot still 😂
Film Enthusiasts : How dare you edit film, you’re never suppose to edit or change the photo you shot
Every Famous Film Photographer : Did you even look at our negatives?
Love these types of videos, always nice to see other peoples process when editing photos. I’ve started playing more with black and white, been getting bored of color.
God i can't stand 'purists' they literally have no idea how much tweaking goes on in the darkroom.
Yes but, famous photographers who used film back in the day weren’t necessarily using it for the effect that film has on the photos, they just had no other option. I think the reason film enthusiasts are so adamant on not editing their photos is because they want to get as much of the film look as possible and the best way to do that is to simply keep the image as similar to the literal film negative as possible.
Exquisite Arc No one is complaining of people not editing their film, people are complaining of purists getting mad when someone doesn’t abide by their “law”
@@exquisitearc8498 I don't necessarily agree that not editing your film photos is the only way to retain the film look. If editing your film negatives on a computer take away from its look, then does not editing your digital negatives take away from the digital look. I would say that the look of film and digital negatives are much more complex and simply the act of editing vs not editing, won't change the fact that one image uses microscope crystals and the other uses pixels, not matter if you choose to edit the photos or not, they should still or film aesthetic.
You are my favourite photography youtuber
Amazing video, as always Willem! So happy to see your process!
I love how different this editing process is. Simple and concise.
That last photo is so gorgeous
i love the edits on your photos, especially how you don't over edit since I see SO many people over edit their photos till it dosent look nice anymore.
Bro that loupedeck is sick! Also, amazing job with the quality video, I love all of your videos and you’re honestly giving so much to the photography community. I’ve learned so much from people like you that I can really get the most from this, its really made a significant change in my photography and I cant thank content creators like you enough ❤️
Respect from south korea. Thank you for sharing your skills ! :)
I've been wanted to watch this since the last time you uploaded.
😈😈
@@WillemVerb ignore those people who say we can't edit film photo, mate. We can do whatever we wanna do to our arts.
So it seems that simplicity is key. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Been checking your videos since seeing the Hasselblad 500cm one and now I finally got one for myself and itching to get my first film rolls back from the lab, so this video is really useful. Thanks! Keep up the good work.
This is deadass the best lightroom tutorial i've ever seen in youtube lol. Thanks dude
Just great content! I like how honest you are in all your videos! Keep up the great work, greetings from Belgium!
at first I thought the loopdeck keyboard looks like something a music producer would use!🤣
Starting a DJ channel with the Loupedeck soon
Great video once again! and thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience with others, every time it makes me re-inspired to go out, take photos, and explore ^_^ (shoutout from your fan in Australia 🐨 )
I don't usually comment on youtube but I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel, Willem! Keep up the great work.
Always been intrigued by the Loupedeck, so its good to see it in use. Great vid Willem
Very helpful! Please make more videos about editing like this one. Thank you!
I swear Willem either just heard the funniest joke in the world or is high af. Great video bro. So much learning for me.
Oh my God this is so helpful!! Thank you for making this video
Thanks for a really informative video! When I started scanning for myself i realized that there really cannot be any scanning without editing, I guess unless you want your color negatives to look like, you know, orange negatives. So to the people who are “against editing film”, if you are getting your negatives scanned at some lab and they look fine to you, they have probably already been through some editing the lab..
So mesmerizing to watch! Such a good video and love your photos!
in my opinion,in the thumbnail the before looks incredible in comparison to the after photo
really like the peace at the end. Keep up the good work bruh!
You and Jamie Windsor are the best photo youtubers 👍👌
Nice overview of your process.
Come on man! You make it look easy.
Awesome video, love seeing your insights, I always learn something new that I can apply
These look great man 👌🏻 hope to see more of these in the future. The way you explained everything was super informative and helped me realize things I hadn't before. Anyway good job dude!
Really excellent, thanks for sharing your process, very cool!
The Loupedeck looks mad convenient, might consider investing after watching this. Great content bro!
Great video! Loved how in depth you went. I am curious to see how to data manage and file sort. Thanks for sharing.
When doing the split Toning, you can hold the option key to see what colour you are adding
Nice bike
Once again great video man! Your style is amazing!!!
I been waiting for this video, thank you so much:)
man you’re going places. this is awesome and i love the images.
Top video as always, one of the few who shares their skills. Waiting for comparison video whit different type of scanning process ( flatbed / drum / dsrl scan ecc. ) It would be very interesting
Loupedeck reminds me of a company called Palette (palettergear.com) that has the same objective of making the editing/creating process easier, except all the components are modular!
Great video :)
This reminds me of audio mixing tutorials. The same exact situation occurs with some engineers not feeling at ease sharing mixing secrets, whereas others don't mind going in deep. A good mix is definitely a major enhancement, but microphone placement (focus), room reverb management (lighting), musical arrangement (framing), and content/texture (subject) are what primarily make a good piece. (I realize the analogy might be different for others haha).
My question, is as follows. I mix a lot, and sometimes I load plugins without thinking. Like "I'll compress this track here". The act of loading the plugin is mechanical, almost automatic, without thinking, after which I need to really ask myself "is this neccessary?". Is there a similar moment of pause when you are editing in Lightroom, thinking "well I'm going to split-tone now--but wait--does this shot actually require this technique by default?"
Would have loved to see the image in the video thumbnail edited. I mean - that Coney Island series is kinda what I know you for. ;)
Quick tip. When you edit the Split Toning you don’t have to increase the saturation to see the effect of the particular color. Just hold the alt button while you change the color to see it at 100%. I’m sure you could translate that to your keyboard but yeah.
Thanks for sharing your editing process!
less is actually more here and i love it
☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼
Oh daaaamn. You worked with Duck, that’s crazy!
Awesome man! You really got me thinking about a more minimalistic edit - love your work!
Awesome! Darkroom tweaks without test strips = lightroom
Love this video and how you explain everything! I always wondered what you edited with. Very informative, thank you for sharing your techniques and giving an insight into the process 🎞
I also love how you use Lightroom and not Capture One or other editing software that’s usually considered as the ‘industry professional standard’. I only use Lightroom (and Photoshop) too as I really like how it works, so it’s nice to know you use it too.
I know every video you make packs tips for photographers but I am really hoping for u to make a photography do's and dont's for beginners. Aperture,focus, depth, shutter speed (there are a lot of vids like these in youtube but you make everything simple and concise).
Great content as usual :> . Thank you
just picking up the remaining bits and pieces from my film cameras after throwing each one across the room
"So i might drop the blacks" WOAH THERE WILLEM
So much respect, thank you!
Thank you for this video, really hard to see good photographers sharing their editing process! Do you feel any limitation while editing scans compared with digital raw photos? Also, could you at some point share the process of printing, how do you manage to keep colors coexistent on monitor and paper. Looking forward to see more of your "technical" but still creative videos, and I have noticed that you really like to boost highlights which gives some special feeling to your photos.
The moment that you thought that the before pic was the edited one 😂
Neat! Would've loved seeing the process behind the picture on the thumbnail. 🙂
hahah it actually was in there before it didnt make the final cut.
Willem Verbeeck I still believe that was just clickbait because the editing in this video is actually really good 👌
Great video, really enjoyed this
Best photographer on UA-cam! 🙌🏻
*What I can do in the darkroom, I may also do in Lightroom* 💁😂
really great, thank you!
Dope, now I don't feel so bad for editing scans 😂 but you're right, adding in that magenta really helps to get that skin tone more accurate. Have you come across many situations where you've had to use tone curve? Sounds like a sin, but just curious because it's so common for digital media. Thoughts?
finally! been waiting since you took it down a few days ago
I'd love to see a video where you edit viewers' submissions
what camera do you use for shooting your videos? and now that I know that you use Adobe Premiere for editing/color grading, I'd love to know how you do it bc istg every frame of every video is color graded really well
Such a great tutorial thx allot
What monitor is that and how do you make sure the colours are accurate on it? Like do you do calibration or just make sure the monitor is good?
I wait for more ;)
What kind of monitor do you have?
was wondering could one decide (for the picture of the black artist) to keep the warm colors to look like the light come from the sunset???
Sweet video! Where is the image from the thumbnail?
Super helpful
always like watching how others edit
Hi love the video! one question tough. do you prefer lightroom classic cc or lightroom (cloud) cc? thanks and keep going!!!
it's really interesting to see photographers not use curves so much. For i can personally can't do my thing without it.
really like ur photos' vibe, keep it up bro
thank you for this video. i use another Program to edit my Photos since i would have to get a suscription for Lightroom. Financially it's sadly not possible at the moment.
But still, your approach for the editing i greatly enjoy :)
keep it up.
Ps: would love to see some low light photography from you and how you approach it.
Don't worry about the flamers. They're mostly hipsters with a very limited view of film photography and its history. Film is most definitely edited and processed by most film photographers though a few have elected to keep it "pure" by exchewing editing. If you ever look at one of Ansel Adams' scribbled notes on a test / guide print, you'll see just how much editing he did in the darkroom.
What scanner do you use??
Do you feel like the loupedeck is worth the money? would you say that it like adds a level of speed and enjoyment that justifies the $200 price tag?
woah that keyboard!!!!
Very informative 👌🏾
