Jeff Lewis is the founder of Escaype, the world’s first weather service for photographers.
He doesn't use fancy toolkits like luminosity masks. And in fact, he doesn't spend a whole lot of time editing. Instead, he “sells the light” to breathe life into his images.
This is an eye-opening interview where Jeff shows exactly how to sell the light in your landscape images. For your own sake, please don’t miss this episode.
