Post Processing/ Before and After Images / Bay Area Photographer

After I finish a photo session, I can hardly wait to get home, pop in the sim card and upload the images….because editing is my TRUE JOY. I tend to keep my editing simple and clean by adding a bit of warmth, vibrancy and sharpness. I will also do some cropping and clone out any distracting objects. I shoot 100% manual and always try to keep exposure and white balance consistent throughout the session to keep my workflow even easier. I do all of my post processing in Lightroom and tend to you use Photoshop for more intricate edits.

Straight out of camera is on the left and the final retouched image is on the right.

If you are a photographer, what is your favorite part of the photography process?
