Val Cloud’s mini photography tutorials

Photography tutorials are always valuable, especially if they are made by someone who knows about photography.
This is the case of Val Cloud who has shared, on her Facebook dashboard, some tutorials that I think are very useful and that I would like to share.
They are divided by topic, so as to make them easier to consult.
For further information and questions, I recommend referring to Val Cloud on Facebook.

Anya Ohmai shared a tutorial about give realism to a Second Life photo using ARTBREEDER

Anya Ohmai has made a video tutorial explaining using Artbreeder to create more realistic images for Second Life. Before I leave you to the video, there are a few premises that I think you will find helpful. First of all, you should know that Artbreeder is not a free tool. Without choosing one of the paid plans, you can experiment with using this photo tool by uploading a maximum of 3 photos. If you would like to switch to one of the paid plans, here is a link to the current prices to choose from Artbreeder Pricing.

The Artbreeder effect on the image is ultimately a bit too pastel-like. This is why, to achieve a realistic effect, you still need to use Photoshop for some adjustments.
Here is the video tutorial.

Anya Ohmai Video Tutorial

Two great videos about how to take photos with Black Dragon. From shooting to final edit.

I have been asked many times how to take good pictures using Black Dragon. Honestly, I have to say that I am quite good at the technical aspects, but not so good at the creative aspects.
I’ve been asked many times by people to clarify a technical aspect of Black Dragon or photography in general, but I think there are people who are much better than me at giving this kind of explanation. In particular, in this post, I would like to recommend a person who has made some beautiful videos on Facebook, some live broadcasts, about photography. This person speaks Spanish, but I can assure you that the content is clear and that it is not difficult to follow her. It is true that Italian is not very different from Spanish, so it was not very difficult for me. However, it is also true that the person who explains in these tutorials does it in a slow way in order to allow those who follow her to be aware of what is being done within her videos. In this post, I am going to share some of her live tutorials that in my opinion are particularly informative and instructive for all those who intend to try their hand at photography and in particular at photography related to fashion blogs. What struck me about these tutorials is the fact that they explain how to make beautiful photographs starting from the photoshoot inside the viewer until the final result. Nothing is left to chance, everything is explained in detail.
As I said I’m not the best person to make tutorials on photography, although I’ve been asked many times and that’s why I’m pleased to share Maria Elocuencia Rodriguez‘s tutorials that with great patience decided to explain her secrets.

Leggi in Italiano

Mi è stato chiesto molte volte come fare delle belle foto usando Black Dragon. Onestamente devo dire che sono abbastanza brava per quanto riguarda gli aspetti tecnici, ma non altrettanto per quanto riguarda gli aspetti creativi.
Mi è capitato tante volte che le persone mi abbiano chiesto qualche chiarimento su un aspetto tecnico che riguardava Black Dragon oppure la fotografia in generale, tuttavia credo che ci siano persone che sono molto più in gamba di me nel dare questo tipo di spiegazioni. In particolare in questo post desidero consigliarvi una persona che ha fatto dei bellissimi video su Facebook, delle dirette, proprio sulla fotografia. Questa persona parla lo spagnolo, tuttavia posso assicurarvi che il contenuto è chiaro e che non è difficile seguirla. E’ vero che l’italiano non è molto diverso dallo spagnolo, quindi per me non è stato molto difficile. Tuttavia è anche vero che la persona che spiega in questi tutorial lo fa in maniera lenta allo scopo di permettere a chi la segue di avere consapevolezza di quello che viene fatto all’interno dei suoi video. In questo post condivido in modo particolare alcuni delle sue live che a mio avviso sono particolarmente informative e istruttive per tutti coloro che hanno intenzione di cimentarsi con la fotografia e in modo particolare con la fotografia relativa ai fashion blog. Quello che mi ha colpito di questi tutorial è il fatto che essi spiegano come realizzare delle belle fotografie partendo dallo scatto fotografico all’interno del viewer sino a risultato finale. Nulla viene lasciato al caso, tutto viene spiegato nei minimi dettagli.
Come dicevo non sono la persona più adeguata per fare tutorial sulla fotografia, anche se mi sono stati richiesti tante volte ed è per questo motivo che con piacere condivido i tutorial di Maria Elocuencia Rodriguez che con grande pazienza ha deciso di spiegarci i suoi segreti.
