Photoshop - Before and After - Crystal 10.10.2009 | Photoshop - Before and After
One of the hardest things for me to do as a photographer is decide what version of a photo I want to show the world on my blog. Photoshop is a tool that most photographers use daily and love but it has become such a well used verb in our culture that I constantly hear "Oh lets just photoshop that out/in". While sometimes possible I always like to get the best image in the camera and then use photoshop to subtly tweak an image or add an effect that highlights an emotion or feeling. I don't aim to change the way someone or something looks, that is the realm of a commercial advertising photographer. My goal is to make the people in front of my lens look their absolute best while still having fun and being themselves. Below is an example of what I might do to "photoshop" an image.
The image as it was shot straight out of the camera. Overall I love the image, nice composition, amazing directional natural light pouring in through the window. Crystal looks beautiful and to be perfectly honest I would be happy with this image with little or no post processing.
