Exactly what I wanted. Im still amazed on how good Phlearn content is!!!
loved this! Thank you so much for providing resources too. 🙂
Incredible tutorial, the way you use curves is amazing. I learned so much today, thank you for another great teaching moment
Hi Phlearn, it inspired me a lot. Great tutorial! May I know how many lights did you put, and what’s the lighting position for the raw image? Thanks!
This was so much help really well done, put together and explained.
Amazing tutorial. You mentioned you did the lighting during the shooting to match the color of the flames. Could you explain how you did the lighting and/or how to fake that lighting? That would be awesome!
Awesome tutorial! A lot learned, but easy to follow.
you are the best . thanks
Ok, so all my reviews are going to be extremely good, as I am in love with the Phlearn family and all the incredible help you guys offer, for us around the world, to get better in our photography!
Amazing tutorial. Thank you for the images to practice with and making it easy to get started. Highly recommended!!!
Great tutorial. The fire files are amazing. Im just wondering how you guys did the lighting for the original image. i want to re create it.
When I got Aaron’s (and I keep pronouncing “A-A-Ron”) tutorial, I was completely a novice at PS. I must have watched it numerous times wrapping my head around the whole masking and blending thing. This tutorial really expanded my mind on how to use PS and my photos together and push my limits. I’ve followed Aaron for years now and am thankful for a product that is easy to follow, and really teaches you something that you can use for other projects in many ways. This was my result from this particular tutorial, “the Voodoo that she-do”
Watched the Video an did the Picture. Easy to understand and easy to do. Even for a german guy 🙂
Amazing…. As always. Aaron is is so thorough and well spoken. One of the best teachers I have seen anywhere. It is obvious Aaron and the others at Phlearn love what they do, and are so generous with their time how can you not support them and buy some Pro tutorials. They are worth every penny.
Never knew this would be so easy to do, your tutorial was very straight forward and very easy to follow. Thank you.
Loved the tutorial! Is there any way to get the photoshoot’s lightning diagram? Im curious about how to replicate the light effects on the picture. Thank you! Ill Phlearn you later!
I loved to imagine having powers…!! But I didn’t do the fire thing…I liked to contol water… Maybe you could make a tutorial on that…??
