In this tutorial, I do a complete step-by-step walkthrough on how I edit all of my Instagram portrait work.

It will be heavily focused on color grading and how I achieve a unique color story. We are going to be using Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop, prior knowledge is useful but it is not necessary.

What's Included:

* Video tutorial that showcases my editing process/techniques from start to finish

* The RAW file so you can follow along with me (please note that this is just for the tutorial, you may not post the image anywhere online)

* A Frequency Separation action to make your skin retouching workflow faster.

What's Covered:

* How to color grade images in Lightroom using different adjustment panels

* How to get rid of skin inconsistencies and make the skin tone even using Frequency Separation

* How to Hack the Instagram Crop and make images fit the frame

* How to Dodge/Burn to add more dimension to the photo and make it pop

* How to use Selective Color & Camera Raw to add a unique color story

* How to use adjustment layers to emphasize light/shadow & color

* How to save & sharpen your image for Instagram

* and much more!
