In this Adobe Photoshop video tutorial, the experienced travel photographer Tim Philippus is showing you how to use "Dodge & Burn" to elevate your photos. Using this technique in cityscape and landscape photography can be a gamechanger for your results to get more contrast and make the important content of your photo immediately stand out to the viewer.
Dodge & Burn is a technique that was done manually before digital photography even existed while the main purpose stayed the same. It's also used a lot in portrait photography to highlight different parts of the face while reducing skin blemishes. Nevertheless, it's also a great technique for every other photographer that gives you a lot of freedom and creative space to improve your photos in a subtle, realistic, and yet fundamental way.
