Before & Afters

I think it’s fun to look at before and afters from some of my favorite photographers blogs.  I have not posted a before and after on my blog before but I have received questions from clients about editing so I thought this would be a good way to where a photo begins and how it ends up.  These three photos all have my classic edit.  This is very typical of what your photos will look like.  I love fresh, crisp, and colorful but not too over done.  I want your photos to to be timeless.

All photos get sorted and have their exposure or white balance adjusted in Lightroom before making there way into Photoshop for the majority of the editing.

All three photos taken with the Canon 5DMii and a Canon 50mm 1.2 L USM lens.  No flash was used.
