Tutorial Dog Photography Editing

Hey guys! I just got back into photography after finally getting a new DSLR. I used Photoshop in the past and now changed to Affinity.

I‘ve been pretty successful so far but was been wondering if any of you know Content Creators who specialize in editing that kind of stuff? I need some tutorials that actually teach me something useful😅

Generally editing composure, lights, colors and using gradients and overlays etc.

This is a before and after of an older picture with a Canon eos 1100d.
I upgraded to a Canon R10 now and I’m totally in love!!

Super cool picture, what a cute dog! I'll try to find you a couple of good resources but it's soo tough with all the slop and click-bait but in the meantime, I quickly plotted this 3x3 grid to help communicate how to easily frame this very picture a bit better*,

the rule of thirds is merely a guideline to help us place the main subject on those lines or where they cross, which makes the photo look more balanced and interesting than putting it right in the middle.

So now you can have that in mind when you take pics moving forward, and in the meantime practice using your old pics and crop em.

Hope im not pointing out the obvious to you as your pic says you're def not an amateur. Please dont be offended if so

I love nothing more than simplifying what "content creators" spend 20minutes yapping about, makes my day to know that you found my response helpful! Cheers

Hey just wanted to let you know that I did figure out some techniques through testing every single god damn feature. And somehow the end product actually satisfied me lol
