The Photoshop Experiment
This YouTube video has been making its rounds in social media. Photoshop can make extensive changes YES, although beautiful lighting can make the BIGGEST of differences.
Our FIRST concern going into any portrait session or wedding is what the lighting conditions are. Beautiful NATURAL Lighting can make all the difference in the WORLD. And this optimal lighting is all you need, its enough of a difference to hide any minor imperfections. Yet never too much to make you look like someone else.
We Will NEVER Over Process your photos and WILL ALWAYS use the BEST natural LIGHTING in any situation.
BELOW is Three Before AND After Samples of what we use Photoshop for. The top image of each is the Original and the Bottom is the Processed image in Photoshop. As you can tell, our images are never over processed. The typical editing process is as follows: adjusting Contrast and Brightness, using minor photoshop actions to suit each shoot(e.g. adding a softness and warm colouring), and possibly using a haze or a bit of a sun flare.
What is your take on Photoshop?????
