I wanted to talk to you today about editing images, I have really pushed myself in 2018 practising editing whenever I can, sat in front of the TV, lying in bed, a spare 10 minutes even testing new apps on the bus to work. Whenever and wherever I could I was editing.
You hear all the time "shooting in raw changes the game" and I am hear to tell you shooting raw changes the game when I finally got the hang of editing raw I couldn't believe my eyes. I could now take a shot I wouldn't look twice at and making a beautiful piece of art. I strongly believe that you need to take a photo you are proud of and takes an element of skill to be a photographer otherwise you're an editor, which is fine but please stop taking my clients.
I wanted to show you some of my favourite before's and afters that I am super proud of from the last few months.You can see the transformation these images take by simply colour grading, alternating the contrast and working the white balance. If you want a full tutorial on how I typically edit my images let me know!

They may not be extremely drastic changes but learning new ways to edit can really improve your images. At the end of the day its all about being creative and messing about, I have learnt about 0.000001% of the things that are possible on Photoshop alone - practice and see what happens.
