There is more information on how to edit your photos available than ever before, and while that is certainly a great thing for anyone who wants to improve as a photographer, it can lead to using someone else's editing habits and techniques rather than developing your own creative voice. If that is something you struggle with, this excellent video tutorial will help you find more creative freedom in your edits.
Coming to you from Alister Benn with Expressive Photography, this great video tutorial discusses how to find more freedom in your photo edits. It can be easy to fall into a formulaic approach when editing your images, but it is important to remember that each photo is unique and demands an individualized approach if you want to maximize your potential and develop a strong creative voice. Perhaps it is a bit counterintuitive, but really mastering all your techniques is one of the keys to this. As Picasso said: "Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist." Check out the video above for the full rundown from Benn.
