BEFORE & AFTER :: THE FUN STUFF!

So, every few months or so i like to dedicate a post to showing some images before and after.  The BEFORE images are pretty much straight from the camera. There is basic editing done here, but it is simple and just good enough for so-so prints. The AFTER images are after all of the full touch-ups and artistic editing is applied.   I try to not over-do it and just enhance the photo, rather than make it unrecpngnizeable!  The artistic edit is what all of my clients receive when they order prints, albums, canvases, etc.  And, for all of you photographers out there, I use Totally Rad Actions exclusively.  For me, i feel that using a few- at the most- different action sets, applications or textures gives a very consistency to my work and helped me in establishing my look, style and brand.

Now, onto the show!

I have read your article carefully and I agree with you very much. This has provided a great help for my thesis writing, and I will seriously improve it. However, I don’t know much about a certain place. Can you help me?

Hi Jackie. I am a long time blog stalker and have finally worked up the courage to post a comment. I am an aspiring photographer and I absolutely LOVE your photography. I recently purchased the totally rad actions and was wondering if you wouldn’t mind posting which actions you used for your pictures. I love your post processing! Thanks! :)
