I get yellow with dodge and burn but creating a new layer for dodge and burn solved the problem. Thanks Joel

Hi Joel,

When you say it has more of a portrait feel as opposed to lifestyle. Could you elaborate on that please? Would you class lifestyle as more airy and natural as opposed to the HSS approach?

Cheers.

This is a tough crowd. I’ve never seen so many people bashing a pro giving free and helpful advice. PS. I just picked up the Beauty Dish Switch and it’s awesome.

[YaneckWasiek]

Awesome video! Which ND filter would you recommend?

[josefrodriguez]

Awesome video. I'm one who has difficulty learning D/B. I do have a question related to your editing process. In what order do you do your editing process, i.e. skin retouching, removing imperfections and D/B?

Hi Joel, love your work & your tutorials. It’s great seeing your techniques knowing that they have been used at the highest level. But can I ask? Is this the technique used to make you look so young in your channel image?
