MODULE 6: Elevate With Edits & Create The Masterpiece
Post Production Play
Ok so you’ve dropped into your feminine, you’ve started experimenting, you have some pics you feel good about… and now you get to play even more
Time to explore some apps that will put you in the artist seat once again and exercise your creativity to elevate your photos with that extra je-ne-sais-quoi. If you’ve ever wondered how all those IG queens get their feed looking consistent and how they create a vibe… this is it!!
Take this week to develop your photo style, your photo vibe with different signature colours and moods via filters and little post production touches in the editing room.
MY FAVOURITE APPS
VSCO: Absolute fave, simple to use and edits videos as well
Snapseed: A little more complicated but amazing as well if you want to dive deeper
VSCO
Ok so you’ll want to explore the filters/presets here and find and favourite a few that suit your energy and aesthetic.
Start by going into the Studio (+ at the bottom), adding a photo by pressing the + button at the top. Select a photo you already love and let’s explore presets. I love G9, V8, AL3, E5.
When you like one, click down and hold until a star pops up, that’s how you save it to your faves.
Decide the intensity you want and then head over to the tools (the second tab in the bottom row).
Adjust brightness by playing with the exposure.
Increase and decrease contrast as desired.
White balance is where you’ll play with temperature (warm or cool) and tint (green or pink)
You can add grain for a vintage look if that’s your vibe.
And HSL is where you can adjust the colour.
Don’t like the tone of green in the foliage behind you?
Go into HSL and select green and then adjust the hue, the saturation and lightness until you get the shade of green that suits your taste. I personally like to mute my greens and fade them a little!!
Have an orange yellow light you want to be more white? You can adjust the orange here until it’s super light and barely noticeable.
Things to ask yourself:
Do you want your photos to be soft and dreamy? (bring the contrast down and mute the colours)
Or are you more into a modern aesthetic? (increase the contrast and decrease the saturation of certain colours like yellow or orange make the overall image cooler)
Do you want rich and warm earthy vibes? (Increase the warmth and go for an orange-y filter)
Have fun with this!! Less is more, and a little edit really goes a long way adding an extra touch to your pics that make it seem like you hired a pro photographer ;)
TO PREPARE FOR OUR FINAL CELEBRATION SESSION
Have a photoshoot and select 3 photos you love:

Bonus affirmations to repeat throughout your day any chance you get. I suggest working with one at a time, the one that jumps out to you and feels like a yes, until it’s ingrained in your subconscious.
