WOW, that color - It's a Twister • Day 17

Thu Sep 11th, 2025

Watch the 30 Days 30 Critiques series: https://f64.co/30playlist<br /><br />After reviewing more than 3,000 photo edits, you start to see patterns, not just in the technical mistakes, but in the way photographers think when they sit down to edit. Some of these are small habits, others are mindset shifts, but they all add up.<br /><br />This video isn’t a critique or a lecture. It’s a reflection on the three biggest things I see photographers overlook over and over again. These aren't about gear, presets, or chasing the next editing trend. They're about clarity, intention, and understanding the viewer's role in your work.<br /><br />If you're a photographer who wants to grow, not just “improve,” I think this will resonate. Let’s rethink how we approach editing, it'll benefit everyone.
