From Teel and Orange to Boosted Clarity, this decade's had a lot of editing trends that have taken Instagram and other social media apps by Storm. So let's run through all of the most popular editing techniques of the 2010s. Is it called 2010s? I'm not sure. The 2010s. What's up guys? My name is Dex Relay, photographer, videographer from Ottawa Ontario and today we're going to talk about the most popular editing trends of the decade. Let's get right into it. Hitting off number one, I think we all know this Teel and Orange M31, they call it in the fancy name I guess. I'm not sure. I'll be honest, I've only been doing photography for three years. I'm not 100% sure if it was a thing before 2010. I'm sure it was. It's a Hollywood look for sure. But 2010 took Instagram by Storm, Teel and Orange. If you don't know Teel and Orange, you're pretty much going to be using these two complementary colors Teel and Orange. You're putting your Teel into your shadows and your orange into your highlights by using split toning or camera calibration, other tools like that. And it gives a really good look. I'll be honest. All photos would look good with a Teel and Orange look. Even if I make this image Teel and Orange by making my skin tones more orange and this blue light a little more Teel. So I'm not going to blame anyone for using it. I'm not going to blame anyone for using any of these techniques. I've used them myself many, many, many, many time because they do look super good. I just think that it has been used very, very often kind of loosening the creativity. That's what I would say for all of these trends. They loosen the creativity because people start to just repeat and repeat, repeat the same thing never expanding on their creativity. Number two, film grain or the film look. So film photos. I'm not sure if it's been two years or three years. I don't know when it came back. Film photos came back huge. People started buying film cameras like crazy, but I think a huge trend was actually making your digital photos look like a film look film grain became a huge popular trend. I'm not exactly sure when, but people know this. Everyone's trying to make their photos look there. Taking on film myself. I bought a film camera. Haven't used it much. I do this whenever our photos to grainy. I'm like screw it. Let's make it look like it was shot on film. I do believe it is a great look. I love the look of these old vintage photos. It kind of has a warm. I don't even know how to explain it, but that is going to be my number two choice. Number three is the over-clarify over-dehaze over-texture arise image. I'm not going to point any fingers, but Peter McKinnon. I have a concept called the Peter McKinnon baby boom. I am part of it myself. In 2017 when Peter McKinnon started posting videos, the amount of photographers and videographers exponentially rose because everyone started getting into it because it was so accessible and so easily learnable through these media like Peter McKinnon. One thing he really liked to do was over-clarify his image. It was a huge trend of his and it leaked right into Instagram. Many people are doing it. Myself included I have been a victim and many photographers when they're beginning to do this, they just crank those clarify sliders because they think it looks good. I'm sorry I don't like the look anymore, but I do think you know you can do it right. But it is a trend that took Instagram by storm in 2017, 2018 is even 2019 people are still doing it as just over-clarifying images. Number four choice. Softening the blacks for sure was a thing that I see all the time and I just don't like the look of it. What's the word fading your blacks for sure? You're going to grab that tone slider you know it and you're just going to bring those blacks up. It's going to make it look like a softer cinematic look for sure I would say. And it was it, I don't know if it was a trend. I did it myself. I still see it today but I do not think it's that great of a look. Let me know what you think of softening blacks fading your blacks comment below that is going to be a nine number four choice. Finally number five. I'm just going to end that number five. There are movie images those green movie fours dark images. Everyone knows this took Iceland by storm for sure and any area that has those those trees it just became a huge popular trend to make your greens super unsaturated super dark. Make those images look super moody. I recently put a video out actually on how to how to get to look how to achieve this look you can check it out right there. This was a super popular trend for sure. It took Instagram. I wouldn't say by storm. I think it was a slow gradual look and many people still do it. I think it looks great. I won't I won't say it doesn't look great but it is a trend that was in the decades and that's going to be the end of the video. Let me know. Do you think there's any ones that I missed? I'm sure I missed a couple couple are popping into my head right now. For example, these sunset kind of you know landscape images. I've been seeing a lot of profiles that just post these kind of orange very warm tone images and I think they look great but you get stuck in a in one single trend and everyone always says is find your niche. I don't agree with that at all. I think you should always be expanding learning different things. Of course, you can have your main type of photography but as far as editing goes, I think you should always be expanding. Of course, it looks better on Instagram but at the end of the day, I don't think people care that much. If your feed is good or if your feed gives value at the end of the day, it's all about giving value to people. That's what I'm trying to do here. Let me know if this video helped you guys.
