Photography Tutorials

Weeellccooomee back to another episode of Lizzy’s Concert Photo Editing 101! (Just kidding… sorta…) If you missed the first tutorial I wrote, you’ll probably want to check out: How to Edit Concert Photos: Basic Mic Removal, since I’ll be using the main technique used there (Spot Healing Brush) in this tutorial, as well. So now you might be wondering: what makes this tutorial “intermediate” vs. “basic”? The simple answer is: the Clone Stamp tool.

There are many times when concert photographers get put into a position where perfect composition really just isn’t possible. When I’m stuck in those situations, I do my best to just get the microphone positioned off the face and away from the body, putting it in a place I can easily edit out.
