Every Photographer Needs to Know | COLOR Part 1
This is my first long educational video in English so bear with me 😅
I’ve been getting the same question for two years: how do you do your color? So I decided to finally break it all down.
This is Part 1 of my color series all about color harmonies. The 6 relationships that are behind every beautiful image, whether you know it or not.
Part 2 dropped on my Patreon color temperature, skin tones, and my full Capture One workflow.
Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Hey, found you on main page of YT. After most big photography channels became advertisement trash dumps, seeing new faces is refreshingly nice. I wish you luck and success.

After a few days seeing your video "how to train your eyes for better color grading" show in the first rows of videos YouTube was "proposing" to watch, I reluctantly decided to give it a chance. Reluctantly, because there is an abundance of tutorials that in the end teach you absolutely nothing. You just watch a photographer editing his photos. I saw a young (probably too young, I thought) girl teaching the world about photography. Another "teacher". OK. BUT! Every second of the video, every word you said made total sense to me and it was not that lame style with a click-bait title for a 20' long video that could say the same thing in 1 or 2 minutes. This is not "watch how I do it and do it yourself", which btw never works, this is not "buy my presets and they'll change your photography". This is the most useful advice a photographer can give to another: observe, think, understand, practice. Explaining the thinking process, the "making of" that takes place in one's mind long before the actual photoshoot, the preparation, the planning, this is a true lesson! As a result, I subscribed. And mind you, I have only 14 subscriptions on YT (including yours). You are a gifted, talented young photographer, you teach the essence of photography and on top, you are a delight to watch! Cute, smiling, girly not pompous, I love, love, love you! 💯💚

Great video! What export settings do you use in Capture One? I’ve noticed that my photos look different after exporting, they look much better inside Capture One. How do you deal with this, and how can I fix it?
