Hello there fellow readers. Thank you for stopping in if you’ve been here before and welcome here if you’re new. I hope you all having a wonderful day! Today I want to talk about the reason I love editing. Some people don’t find any joy in any editing. I find that it can work miracles in situations with unpredictable weather. From adding in beautiful sunsets, to editing out power lines or trees that just look strange.

    You can change the entire scene behind someone with a few clicks if you’re using a green screen. The possibilities are absolutely endless. With photoshop these days you can achieve even the craziest sky swap if you play with it. Creativity is a wonderful thing to play with when you have the chance to!

      Being able to create different things or achievements. I love being able to add unseen things to an image or change what’s already there to a different spot in the image or remove something that shouldn’t be there.  Even just adding the simple touch of a filter or vignette.  

     I’ve always took my time editing images so they can live up to the highest potential and vision in my head. I have really high expectations for myself while I’m creating the photos. I want to create beautiful images that can come across as a piece of art.  

       What’s your favorite thing to photograph? Let me know down below!

      Hey Everyone! Welcome if you’re new here and thank you to everyone who’s come back for another post!

     I’ve done a lot of photos in the past four years and I’ve been extremely lucky over the last few years! I put my heart behind all my photos and love to share them all as often as possible. 

     I’ve been lucky enough to photograph some very cool bands perform and some very beautiful places in the United States. I’ve captured the portraits of people who were taking their next step in life whether it was leaving high school or making their family bigger.  

      I want to share these photos with the world as often as possible, I’ve been very lucky. I strive to work hard to continue to show off new work as it comes. Thank you all for the support!

Hello to everyone out there! I’m already trying to move mountains in 2019 with photos and I feel like it’s going to be a great year! Today I want to tell you about what editing programs I use. I will do another blog about my editing process that hopefully will be put out tomorrow!

            The very first program that I use is Adobe Bridge. The reason that I use Bridge is to go through my raw files to delete any photos that are blurry or unfixable. All wrong angles, multiples that look too similar, or even just photos that I feel missed the composition that I was going for. Also, while I’m in this program I will pick a few photos that I consider simple edits to use as a sneak preview for either Facebook or just the person(s) in the photos.

            The next program I use for my first round of editing is Adobe Lightroom Classic CC. What I mean by first edits is simple fixes or simple color corrections. I will usually add presets, do some simple lighting corrections, and some simple color corrections. I’ll also After doing these things, I consider some of the photos done at this point. The ones I consider done at this point will be watermarked in Lightroom.

            The final program I use to edit is Adobe Photoshop CC. In photoshop I tend to do more extreme edits. Overlays, background fixes, and skin fixes. Sometimes I will do head swaps if the photo calls for it. At the point that the photos are opened in Photoshop I will also do more in depth color corrections.

            Thank you for stopping in and checking out my writings! Stay wonderful!
