A guide library by Teus Renes

Guides

Four guides for capture, editing, monochrome work, and sustained study.

The library keeps the camera guide, the Lightroom workflow, the monochrome guide, and a curated study source in one place, with each one doing a different job.

The four guides

One shelf, four different jobs

Start with the GFX guide when the question is about capture, use the Lightroom guide when the file is in edit, open the monochrome guide when colour is no longer part of the answer, and use the study source when you need material to look through rather than settings to apply.

Where should I start?

Start with the task in front of you

These are adjacent references, not interchangeable ones. The quickest route is to begin with the guide that matches the work you are doing now.

  • Use the GFX field guide for camera setup, banks, and field checks.
  • Use the Lightroom guide after import, when the RAF file is ready to edit.
  • Use the monochrome guide only when the image is moving into black and white.
  • Use The Aesthetics of Observation when you need source material for seeing, sequencing, ethics, or long-term project thinking.
