Chelsea London © 2019 | Fujifilm X-T1 | 56.0 mm | ƒ/7.1 | 1/180s | ISO 200In our last lesson we talked about best practices for processing landscape and object photos. Before starting here, make sure you’ve read through that lesson, as the fundamentals there translate to portrait photography. For this lesson, we’re going to look at some specialty processes which benefit portrait photos specifically. This lesson is by no means an exhaustive explainer of processing portraits - some portraits require more intensive processing, and we’ll focus in on basic processes that you can use for day to day portraits and as a base for those times you’ll need more.
Before we start, watch the following video, which shows processing of multiple portraits from beginning to end. You will see some of the practices we talk about in this lesson in the video.
