My friend just purchased a really cool Lifted Jeep and wanted me to shoot it for him at sunset. We both set out on a journey that got us to this particular spot. This is a popular location to photograph cars as you have a few palm trees and the Miami Skyline in the back. Once the sun started to set we realized there were no clouds and no color in the sky.
This is a really common problem when it comes to photography, we can only hope for epic skies every time, however this is almost always never the case. In fact more times than not, we have very bland skies. This is why I created SkyOverlays.org. This is a complete library of the most epic high resolution skies shot from around the world by me., and all the collections are super affordable.
Anyhow, after swapping out the sky for an epic one, using Luminar AI, and afterwards I edited this photo with my Lightroom Presets. I think it’s safe to say the photo of the Lifted Jeep turned out EPIC…
Do you like Jeeps? For me if they are done right they can be really cool, however I have seen some that just do not do Jeeps justice. Are you into NFTs? If so check out all my drops here and stay tuned for more…

How to create award-winning photos
Do you use Luminar? What do you think of the new technology changing the photography game? I think it is incredible how we can use technology to create beautiful works of art. I don’t think there is anything wrong with expanding our horizons and putting a twist of awesomeness into our new works of art. Or our old ones for that matter.
One of the great things about photography is teaming up with products and people you believe in. I have been using Skylum products for a while now and they never disappoint, in fact, they keep getting better and better. Being part of this incredible journey has its perks. I get to try out their software before it comes out to the public, and that is a great thing.
Skylum Ambassador Team
Recently they announced Luminar 4 and I finally got to try it out for the first time. The thing I was most excited about was the AI sky replacement. I didn’t really know how it was going to work, but when I received the software it took me seconds to replace the sky in the image below. There really is nothing to it. It is so easy to use that anyone can do it.
This is only one feature of the new software. They also changed the entire look and feel of it making it easy to work with and keeping things more organized. In the video below I show you how easy it is to replace a sky. Now keep in mind that this is the Beta version of this software and the final version might look different.
I am very happy with it so far and happy to be part of such a great team. You can check out this post they did about me on their website, and also check out my profile on their page. If you want to buy Luminar you can get it here. Make sure you use code “edin” at check out to get a juicy discount.
A big thank you to the entire Skylum team for allowing me to be part of the Skylum Ambassador Team. Skylum is doing big things and I can not wait to see what’s next.
