Return to the Dark Forest

Forest photography holds many challenges. Whether you’re shooting against the light or in complete absence of light, there’s always some technical aspect that blocks the creative process. In this video, we’re taking 3 images from the raw stage all the way to a final image that looks like it was shot on the set of The Lord of the Rings.

What’s Included?

⭐ These four videos contain more than 3,5 hours’ worth of processing in total.

⭐ Three PSD-files (resized) of “Trifecta”, “Feet of Fangorn” and “Communal Hill” with every adjustment still present.

⭐ All resized raw files (DNG) with every adjustment still present. Plus pre-processed focus stacks in case you want to skip this step.

⭐ Read-me file linking to additional tools such as TK Actions and the last sharpening tool you will ever need.

⭐ A bunch of ever updated videos that keep up with tools, updates and versioning, to make these videos absolutely timeless.

This is my entire workflow for a Dark Forest shot. In two videos, we will cover:
