In this episode I briefly talk about how I print my photographs in Photoshop and why I think it's important to print to improve your photography and appreciation for the finer details.
I've been investing a lot of time into printing because of an photography exhibition event I hosted on the 15th September. I believe that it's been time and money well spent so I felt it was important to record a video to give a brief overview of what I've been very busy with. It's not a deep dive tutorial but hopefully you'll pick up some tips on preparing your image in Lightroom, printing from Photoshop and perhaps feel inspiring to print and frame your photographs more often.
I'll be talking about my exhibition in a future video so please look out for that. Many thanks for watching!

Amazing images and great advice on prints. Your packaging is also world class mate. Lovely touches in there. People know they are getting something really special when they unwrap that!

@Firstmanphotography 5 лет назад

Sean Tucker Totally agree, first rate.

@SimonBaxterPhotography 5 лет назад

Many thanks, matey! I'll have to try and show you some in the flesh next month ;-)

@mattthomas1547 5 лет назад

Very inspiring video! I can't wait to see a video on doing an exhibition.

@johntravena119 2 года назад

About 20 years ago a friend of mine bought the newest Nikon DSLR and sold me some of his old film equipment. Seattle has first rate parks and a beautiful Japanese garden, and I’d often shoot in these places. When my photography began to improve I made some prints. Seeing the images enlarged to 11”x14” was pure magic. Love your process - your images look so natural, unlike some popular landscape photographers.

@tomdullage1531 5 лет назад

Thanks Simon, I love the care you obviously lavish on your printing and presentation!

@cameronghunterimages Год назад

Lovely Video, and great information. Printing is something I wish to get into, printed my first 3 prints for a client/friend over the past few months and shipped them. It's been a wonderful experience!

@zeballos5757 5 лет назад

Such an informative and inspiring video Simon! You’re so right that holding a print in your hands is the pinnacle of the process and really makes you appreciate an image. Love your work- keep it up!

@derrenleepoole 4 года назад

That was a real eye opener. Very informative and a joy to watch. You're a valuable asset to the photography community and I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work.

I love the way you shared your knowledge, full of passion out of the hart. I’ll definetly visit your website and looking forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing Simon.

@andymacdougall6593 5 лет назад

Really enjoyed that. The passion and love for taking and sharing your images oozed off the screen, and I found myself grinning because of that happiness when you talked of the exhibition. Every time I watch one of the I videos I go away green with envy at the quality of your photography and inspired to go and try similar techniques. I usually shoot coast and mountains, but last weekend found myself stumbling round a misty wood having a great time! Thanks for getting me out there in the mist and rain!

@TomNorthenscold 5 лет назад

Beautifully put. I couldn’t agree more about the value of printing your work.

@Bazzo61 5 лет назад

Absolutely stunning pictures and another brilliant video. So agree with you regarding your comments on having something physical to look at and enjoy.

@christopherharrison3597 5 лет назад

Simon, I loved this video. I think all of us amateur photographers can learn a lot from actually printing our keepers. Of course we all may not have the means to print our own but finding a reputable printing site or company is probably a good start. To see the professionalism you use both in the process and packaging is truly inspiring.

@heathercahill2813 5 лет назад

Such an inspirational video; thank you, Simon!

@albeaz9691 5 лет назад

Great video Simon - thanks for sharing your thoughts & process. Your prints look amazing - testament to the thought & effort you out into the image making process in the first place.

@johnburgess1547 5 лет назад

Dear Simon, 100% agree with you, printing an image that you have created is extremely rewarding and as you say can become a talking point. I am not yet into selling prints but I was very impressed with your attention to detail in the packaging of your work. I follow your work closely and there is no doubt that my photography has improved from following your advice. Keep up the good work!!

@tmjr 5 лет назад

Simon - excellent and inspirational as always. Thanks for reminding us that we need to print.

@joelwolski 5 лет назад

So much of what you said in this video about that benefits of printing resonated with me that it would take to long to go into all of it, so let me just say thank you. I do quick prints of my photos and pin them to the wall over my desk at work just to remind me of what's outside these walls.

@yuriajones 5 лет назад

Another great one! Thanks Simon. I look forward to the next.

@brumtaffy 5 лет назад

Fabulous episode Simon, loved seeing your workflow and your amazing images. I'm going to follow your lead on this one and print more :) The finishing touches to your prints for sale put the icing on the cake, bravo!

@Hirsutechin 5 лет назад

Good to hear from you again Simon, and what a subject! Viewing real prints beats Instagram etc hollow, plus you have control over what the viewer really sees. A famous photographer (and legendary darkroom technician) did a number of images I just didn't "get" as reproductions until I saw actual prints - then you couldn't miss his intention! They were really big prints too. Looking forward to seeing more from you and hope to see your images exhibited some day.

@AdrianW_photo 5 лет назад

Outstanding video and content. As always, you never cease to disappoint. If I never had motivation to print before I certainly do know.

@derekwillson2538 5 лет назад

You have some truly awesome images in your collection and this video was a great promotion for the art of photo printing. Thanks for all you do Simon, see you soon Del

@MaliDaviesPhotography 5 лет назад

I really enjoyed the exhibition, like you say seeing them in the flesh, you really get a feeling of the effort and love that has gone into them. From finding and building the composition to the final print. I cannot tell you enough how inspiring it was to see the prints and get to talk to you. Thank you Simon for taking the time to have a chat. It was well worth travelling all that way. I ended up in a woodland and didn’t go to the abbey. I can see why you spend so much time in those woodlands. I couldn’t agree more about printing. Take care 😁👍

@SimonBaxterPhotography 5 лет назад

Hi Mali! Thank you again for your kind comments - much appreciated! Hope you enjoyed your woodland wander :)

@jillianhorsley5985 5 лет назад

@tomass7952 5 лет назад

Again, another nice video Simon - Great work 👍

@martinjn2920 5 лет назад

This video has just been a joy to watch, the passion that you have for the image from conception through execution into post processing then on to printing before the careful assembly and attention to detail in the final pack for a customer shines through. If anyone wants to see what is required to be a success in this industry just watch this video. Brilliant and thank you for sharing.

@gordroberts53 5 лет назад

Hi Simon! First, I must say how happy I am to have found your channel, it is so easy to become lost in your images. Your advice on printing is valuable to me, especially changing the default background colour in Lightroom. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from BC.

@hnurminen 5 лет назад

Brilliant video Simon! I have been toying with the idea of starting to print my photos but the technical side of it with paper profiles and so on has been slightly daunting. What you talked about printing lifting the whole process of taking a great photo to another level really hit a spot and I think I will give it a try now. So, thanks for a great video and the encouragement!

@joegutierrez6021 4 года назад

@brianmaneely 5 лет назад

What a fantastic video, Simon! I've always thought that an image isn't completed until it's been printed. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a printer... But I think this video has convinced me that it's time invest in my own setup. Thank you for the inspiration and sharing a bit of your workflow! Keep up the good work, man.

@MLC48 5 лет назад

I just printed out my first 'big' print (11 X 14) using my Canon pro-1000 using your recommendations and especially using Photoshop to print images! It turned out fabulous!! Meaning the same as what I saw on my computer screen. Thank you so much for your clear instructions.

@earavichandran 5 лет назад

Amazing pictures. Definitely I agree that photos look better when we printed out instead of viewing through a digital display. Your idea is awesome. Wonderful video.
