Use THIS for BOLD Eyes in Photoshop!

No more bland-looking eyes! I'm going to teach you how to use Gradients in Photoshop to make AMAZING eyes.

The eyes are the most important object to get dialed in in portrait and wildlife photography. We ensure we nail the focus on the eye when we are shooting, but why does our focus have to stop in the camera?

I'll show you how to get your viewer sucked right into any portrait or wildlife image using gradients in Photoshop ;)
