  • In this creative session, professional portrait photographer Ivan Weiss walks you through his full post-production workflow, showing you how he uses live luminosity masks and manual colour grading in Affinity Photo 2.
    Ivan will be available on UA-cam’s Live Chat for this session’s premiere on Friday, 29 March 2024 at 4pm GMT to answer any questions. He’s also provided a free LUT should you wish to follow along. Download it here: affin.co/IWFC
    Based in London, Ivan’s interest in portraiture was influenced by 12 years surrounded by Renaissance masterpieces in Florence, Italy. He creates images that reflect a fascination with classical composition, a delight in the technical possibilities afforded by modern equipment and techniques, and a sensitivity for human emotion.
    Check out his work at ivanweiss.london and / ivanweiss.london .
    Feeling inspired to take your portraiture to the next level after this session? Ivan has curated two special add-ons for Affinity, including the new HuemanTone LUT Pack, available for purchase here: affinity.serif...

    I've successfully not had to go into photoshop for over 1 year - now if Affinity can get their raw developer to the level of Capture One, then there's another editing software I can ditch!

    Very good! Interesting approach to retouching and colour grading. There are always different ways to achieve similar results; none is better than the other. Each is different and subjective. I like your workflow. Thank you for sharing!💕💓

    It was a little bit annoying that every tiny edit you do looks crappy, and then UA-cam finally catches up and shows it how it should be and it looks great again. UA-cam compression.. 😩
    I learned some really cool tricks! Thank you very very much!

      @@IvanWeiss-london obviously it's a limitation of UA-cam. The fine adjustments on the skin for example just made it painfully visible.

    Nicely done tutorial and good shot. Personally I would have had the hair & make-up person tone down the blusher a bit before I started shooting. But I learned about the more 'obtuse' settings in AP. I like Affinity Photo a lot but I sometimes feel it is very technical in some ways and not very intuitive when it comes to certain adjustments. However Ivan revealed adroitly how to do it. I only wish he had told us, or had a small caption, what the various key commands are that he used.
    Some of the retouching didn't seem to show much difference, but I am putting that down to UA-cam's poor quality rather than any obsessive nit-picking on his part. Although wearing an outfit that matched the model's is excessive empathy ;)

    After being acquired, did y’all stop answering questions in the iPad question area? I can’t seem to find a way to rotate an image before importing it into Affinity designer…when I open the image.. yes navigator can rotate it, you can two finger rotate, but it exports it in the original rotation. If you rotate the layer, the canvas doesn’t follow! I’m so frustrating! The updated iPad layout also makes third party tutorials useless!
