Cropping Creatively in Lightroom

When a photographer creates an image, his goal is to tell a story. You tell a story by capturing images of the things you love . When you create an image, you compose the image in such a manner that you direct your viewers to a focal point, the focal point that caused you to stop and create the image. However, sometimes even the best laid plans run amuck and you need to crop the image to remove extraneous objects that distract your viewers’ attention from the focal point. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could crop creatively using a rule of composition? You can in Lightroom Classic. In the following video, photographer Doug Sahlin shows you how.


St. Louis Cemetery #2

Visited New Orleans just before Thanksgiving. Created some photos in the St. Louis Cemetery #2. Converted most of the images to black and white using Silver Efex Pro 2. Added a bit of selective color into some of the images.



Beach Yoga

Haven’t been to beach yoga in a long time, but this morning I did the next best thing and photographed Elin Larsen leading a very enthusiastic bunch of beach yogis.
