Everyone should watch this video! Lots of detailed information about colors, color temperatures in different environments and how, why and where to place your subjects in a scene. As a bonus, Daniel also goes into photoshop tools that can help enhance your vision. This man has a great eye for detail and has a wonderful way of explaining it.

Great tutorial! Daniel makes the whole “Kelvin” thing much more clear than I’ve seen before. Can’t wait to try this approach for greater consistency and less post-processing.

Great!

Some things like this, have no price. Aside of all the bits and tricks you’ve showed to us in here, it reminded me of one very important thing, and that’s to value the process and the journey to our target more. There are no shortcuts and if we want to be as professional as possible, it’s just necessary to dedicate time and patience. Well done Daniel, much appreciate you!
