As a photographer I strive to get the best photo in camera to avoid extra work editing in photoshop.  However there are times when you do the best you can in camera and make the necessary adjustments in photoshop.  This park was not an ideal location by any means.  But with the right light I was able to get a decent shot.  I then brought it into photoshop and did my usual workflow with a few additional edits to remove the cars and got this amazing image!

Here is another image I love and I didn’t need to do much to enhance the photo.  I love seeing before and afters and I hope you enjoy looking through some of my before and after edits.  I like to keep things clean and simple so you will see that in my final edits.

Having studio lights have made my life easier and helps keep everything consistent.  I have learned how to get it right in camera so  I only have to do minor tweaks in my editing.

Occasionally when the light isn’t ideal and I have extra shadows I will have to do more work like in this image.  It was too beautiful of a pose to pass up.
