My Editing Process
I edit all of my photos using an Adobe software program called Lightroom. Lightroom is similar to Photoshop, however Lightroom makes workflow of editing photos a lot quicker with tools to edit photos easily accessible. It's important that my clients know I edit each of their photos to reassure quality. I like to show before and after photo examples. It takes me approximately 15-20 to edit one photo.
Here is what my editing process is like:
- Upload photos into folder collection with Lightroom (this helps keep my photos organized)
- Delete any photos that look blurry, eyes are closed, bad pose, or simply just do not look good
- Go through photos again and star the ones I really like for editing
- Editing starts with normal edits on exposure, highlights, shadows, contrast, noise, vibrancy, etc.
- Next special editing is done on the subject's eyes (brighten), skin (fix blemishes, skin color correction), hair (add contrast, brighten)
- Then deeper editing on the total look of the photo giving it my own artistic look and feel
- Create copy of original photo and copy of edit
- Provide edited photos to client
