Real frames from the course. Nick edits each photo on screen, from the first selection to the final touches.

You can’t choose the sky on the day you’re there.

You travel to a place you’ve dreamed about, and the sky is flat and gray. Or you replace it, and it looks fake: bad edges, wrong light, a sky that doesn’t match the scene.

Nick shows how to get three things right:

  • A clean selectionEven around trees and complex edges
  • Matching lightSo the sky and the ground look like one photo
  • Hard casesHigh-contrast scenes and night portraits
