This "speed edit" is sped up around 40x from the full 43 minute editing tutorial, which is available in our Unleashed Education Premium Membership.

At Keilah’s morning beach session, the dark clouds eventually parted and out peeked the sun.

With both bright sun and dark shadows, the dynamic range of the scene was very high, which meant that the image needed to be underexposed to try and capture all the tones. The white balance is also much cooler than it should be.

Watch and learn as Charlotte brightens and warms the image in both Lightroom and Photoshop, gradually building up the adjustments to give a subtly warm and bright seaside portrait with a beautiful soft feel.
