I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned about portrait editing through one of my favourite creative tools — Luminar Neo. This course is built from years of experience capturing and editing portraits, and my goal is to help you create a workflow that is not only efficient but truly your own. Whether you’re just starting your editing journey or already have experience, these lessons are designed to guide you step by step at your own pace. We’ll explore everything from mastering the interface and building a strong editing foundation to colour grading, advanced lighting techniques, AI-powered retouching, and creating signature styles that bring your vision to life. Throughout the course, I’ll share my personal approach to editing — how I work with light, colour, mood, and storytelling to transform a portrait into something more meaningful. Together, we’ll explore how small adjustments can create a powerful impact and help you develop a style that feels authentic. I hope this course inspires you to experiment, create, and see your portraits from a completely new perspective.
Photographer & YouTuber
Hi there! I'm Faye van Hest, a photographer originally from Amsterdam, now happily creating in Melbourne, Australia.
What started as a childhood passion for shooting cars has evolved into a love for portrait photography. Having spent 10 years modelling in front of the camera and the last 5 years shooting behind it, I've gained a unique understanding of portraiture. From how I connect with my models to the details of my editing workflow.
Starting my YouTube channel has been a massive milestone, giving me a platform to bring viewers along on my creative journey and share behind-the-scenes moments from around the globe. Funnily enough, my sister is a professional model, so we often team up to create an awesome series of photos, using everyday scenery and turning it into a cinematic piece.
The feeling of creating an idea that you’ve been envisioning, and then actually seeing it evolve in person: that feeling is unbeatable. I will keep chasing it forever.
