My Editing Style
In today’s industry it is amazing what can be done in Photoshop. Whitening of teeth, slimming of thighs, tummy tucks, the list goes on and on. How a photographer chooses to edit their photos is a style preference. It’s an artistic freedom that each is entitled to. At the end of the day, it plays a major factor in what distinguishes one photographer from the next.
My editing philosophy is to correct, but NOT perfect. I hope that this has become a part of my brand; an identity of my business, and what I am all about.
With each client, it is my goal to celebrate and remind them of the beauty of them and blessings in their life. This means capturing their personality and their relationships with those they love most.
I want my wall portraits to be a pure, honest representation of the client, documenting and celebrating them just as they are.
And so I present to you, my editing philosophy in list form.
I won’t:
Make you look like a perfect porcelain doll
Swap heads
Fix crooked teeth
Make your eyes look like they are glass and glowing
Slim your thighs
Add in textures and overlays
Remove moles/birth marks unless client requests
I do:
Color Correct
Crop the photo do give it the best artistic expression possible
Remove pimples
Fix dry skin patches
Get rid of flying hairs
Remove boogers [and yes I do this quite often]
Remove background distractions in the frame of the photo
Make you look like FABULOUS you
