Dodge & Burn Masterclass.

Social media tutors have fundamentally misunderstood Dodge and Burn, teaching ‘safe’ grey-layer techniques that merely brighten or darken, leaving images flat and lifeless. This masterclass debunks those myths by returning to the professional logic of Photoshop’s native tools. True Dodge and Burn isn’t about tonal shifting; it is about expanding micro-contrast in localised areas to inject three-dimensional life into your work. I teach a craftsmanship-led workflow that accounts for 30% of my final image look. You will learn how to use these powerful tools directly and logically, maintaining a simple non-destructive process that protects your data while achieving unparalleled depth.
