With an overview of the post-processing techniques he used to create his stunning imagery, Elia gives you the basics of the advanced dynamic blending and temporal blending techniques he implements to translate these emotional elements into his photography. In addition, Elia also discuss how to recognize the different feelings that can be created by shooting scenes at various times throughout day, and how to use the quality of the light to dramatically change the mood of your photography.

I've looked at a lot of Elia's stuff in wonder. I've even compared his shots and mine from the same spot, albeit at different times, and wondered how he got his results. Now the magician has explained the trick, does it spoil it? Not for me, I feel really inspired to try some of it, especially blending. First, I have to learn patience. That was a really worthwhile watch. Thank you Elia.
Too much photoshopping.
useless info
I thougt it was very good
I don't think most of us are experts in graphic design. However HDR in camera would do the same job
wow he's cute
Fantastic
wonderful talk,+Elia,thanks so much
I've been a location Independent Electrician for 3 years now….. aspiring to be location independent photographer
I don't mind the blending but in the Singapore picture, has he missed the reflections of the lasers off the water?
So many places in Paris that don't let you use tripods, bloody annoying!! Grillapods are the way to go! I managed to use mine.
you guys should really show the slideshow instead of a dark grainy image of some guy talking for an hour and a half
Elia your work is excellent. I can't believe the number of people that are critical of your work & your travelling, blatant jealousy. Keep up the wonderful work & you have given me lots of ideas to take my photography to the next level.
I always wonder how people get shots ( like the one of the Louve ) with no people in it. 0 foot traffic?
In 2014, he mentioned couple of times of Fuji X-T2, that's interesting!
very nice! i really like the idea of "painting with time". i don't think it's overdone or 'fake' at all.
An excellent and illuminating video. I have always done a lot of landscape photography while travelling because I usually go to extremely beautiful places. I have found wide angle lenses indispensable.
One thing to note, though. If you intend on doing a lot of wildlife photography on your trips, you'll also need a good telephoto for a lot of shots. This is probably obvious to most of you, but I thought I'd mention it.
The title is kind of misleading. Elia has powerful skills and experience but this loooong presentation is about something what could have been said in 3 minutes. I feel a bit sorry for the participants and believe everyone was waiting for at least a short workflow of him blending the shots together. Oh, not blending the shots, painting with time instead!
How splendid, isnt it?
This video in summary:"Hey, my name is Elia and I travel full time. I am a travel photographer, travelling full time. When you travel full time it's so cool. Did I mention that I travel full time? No? Well… I do. Here are some tips for the next time you find yourself being paid by people to use their products and take photos whilst travelling full time. Thanks for watching. I'm Elia Locardi, and I travel full time, location independently. Good bye, I'm off to go travel full time. Why don't you join me? Oh wait, what? You can't afford to? How so? People pay you to do it. That's normal… isn't it?"I had seen a lot of Elia Locardi's photography prior to this video and loved it, but having now had the displeasure of listening to him for the first time, I find him quite loathsome and egotistical. Travel seems to have changed him for the worse, despite what he claims.
Nice but way over processed. Looks fake.
Brilliant work, TY very much for this video. Heard you mention Fuji and noticed you had quite a bit of gear. Haven't explored your website yet but was wondering if any of your work is shot with Fuji X gear. I became weary of lugging around heavy Nikon bags and enjoy the Leica like attributes of of their glass and the tech in their sensors in the Fuji XPro 2. I'm older, wish you could have been on the road with me in 1971 trekking around the world for almost 3 yrs. It'd be fun to have a time machine.
hello man，what kind of software u use for the timelapes color correction……，our company have some proje need someone help us
He doesn't consider it being post processing, even thought he combined 3 photos to make a photo that wouldn't exist without post processing.
this guys ego is overwhelming
Oh I watched this all the way to the end ))))
Why there are so many people are upset by the fact he is using post editing tools? He is doing nothing different than how photography is done in traditional ways. The digital darkroom has replaced chemical darkroom. Since the digital darkroom has a lot more freedom and easy to use so it is more powerful and more sophisticate in photo processing. To be a successful photographer today, you need not only take good pictures but also have good skills in using post editing tools.
I think nowadays, you need to be not only a good photographer but also a good photo illustrator who has good post editing skills.
The title should be "how to fake good lightening in photographs". If you couldn't see the same thing with your own eyes had you actually been there when the shot was taken, then it isn't photography. It's computer aided design.
In these days all people are over using photoshop to make amazing pictures from plain dull pictures. You dont need to take an amazing picture, you just need amazing photoshop skill. It's sad , because before photoshop or other post processing programs exist, photographers really had to wait to catch a perfect composition with natural light. This pictures dont represent reality and the pure beauty of the landscape, they are just picture special effects.
