There is no such thing as beautiful people. Everyone is unique in their own way. If you will claim that someone is "pretty" then by the same token you will claim that there are "ugly" people. :)

Thank you Justin. It is great to refresh on the compositional techniques. As far as using the editing tools I have been dealing with the halo effect between subject mask and background mask. I have learned some ways to fix this problem but once you know, you know. I now pixel peep looking for halo.

Very good information. Adding cooler tones in the shadows and warmer tones in the mid/high works very well. Acording to me you have overseen 1 element for 3D pop/dimensionality, and that is the use of a lens that is not overly corrected, like in Zeiss lenses and other low element count lenses for example.

This video should be packed into every new camera box. It is amazing how much money it spend on upgrading constantly when new whiz-bang advanced cameras do not produce better images when the real improvements come from using the basics more intentionally. The difference between a beginner and one who makes deliberately compelling images is not the camera. Investing in a workshop or an art appreciation class will make difference than anything a camera can contribute. A photographer who does not visit good art museums regularly is missing most of the answers that have already been discovered 500 years ago I grew up in capital city of California and my father has a few old cameras, one large one was made in the late 1800s. We only had one art gallery but the most exciting 3 day of the year were 2 days driving to San Francisco to buy school clothes and to stop me from constantly begging to go to museums and San Francisco had 6 or 7. The other day that was a highlight of the year was the 1 day a year I dad would drive me to the local air-force base that has a main electronics surplus salvage facility to sell it off as scrape, and my savings of a 5 year old was was not much but much of it sold very cheap instead of for scrape. I as crazy over electronics and shortwave radio that later, when combined with photography where we developed roll, sheet and wet plates in a add-on to the garage. The combination of passion for electronics and photography took me to 92 countries and all the great art collections in public collections and some hidden away from the Public. I have a real photo studio now and live in a city with spectacular beauty and 475 museums and many great galleries that has the most advanced art restoration and research labs and where damaged art from around the world is sent to be restored. Seeing the originals instead photos in art books. Art is not experienced as the artist intended, especially if the gallery is filled with tourists. Art lovers often have to wait until fall when the tourists have gone to their home country because every painting has a viewing distance the artist intended and his unspoken intended viewing distance is revealed in his selection of frame size. It make most use of his intended viewing distance being the distance you need to be at to be able to absorb then entire image without scanning side to side. In the tourist season larger painting are swamped by people getting very close to see the name. A more common every day version of the creator expectinga viewing distance that allows the full content to be perceived at once when looking at a billboard. It looks sharp, clear and absorbed instantly when seen at 100 feet but incomprehensible viewed at 10 feet. So move back for large paintings, his intent is found further away.

In your example of leading lines, you use THE STARRY NIGHT as example. But in my opinion, it’s more an example of rules of thirds combined with bright/dark balance. If at all, it is rather the line of mountains in the background that directs the view to the sun.

Hi, thanks for the theory. However, personal opinion here, most of the shown portraits are horribly overcooked! Even a few known photographers there. If that’s where it is going to and with AI being there, it’s taking a wrong direction!

I agree, combine the saturation, contrast, skin softening, and the current makeup trends and the end result isn't so much a portrait as much as a digital graphic. I think in a decade or two, we are going to look back at these like we do the 80s and 90s glamour pictures.

Some concepts are better explained through A.I. because you can display the key concepts in a more extreme/emphasized way.
