The interplay of light and darkness is an essential element, if not the essential element, of great photography.
And luminosity masks are one tool to help photographers make the most of this critical capability. But what if you could go beyond a simple luminosity mask?
What if you could actually change the way you see?
There are tons of resources out there to support you as you pursue the perfect balance of light and darkness in your images.
But even if you find and use all of them, you won’t get much more than a “quick fix.”
The simple tools and tricks that are available to most photographers only result in art that looks like the work of…most photographers.
But what if you want to create photography that is personal, unique, compelling?
Employing the same easy tools and quick fixes as all the other photographers out there just won’t do it.
You need the freedom and the vision to express your true self, to reveal your own special way of seeing.
But can this really be taught? Is it actually possible to get a book that shows you how to bring out your own personal vision?
Now it is.

I’ve heard about luminosity masking and saw what it does to your processed image. So naturally I wanted to know more about the luminosity process. I’ll say this, this product explained everything I needed to know about the why and how to use luminosity masking. My images are now popping and everyone is asking how I’m doing my post process.

Unlike many HOW TO offerings, the author starts with his personal approach and how it has developed. He then ties this into his instructional materials which gives a different perspective on what can be achieved and how to go about achieving it.
