Before & After::

I love photographing people. I love using my camera, discovering new angles, new settings, and getting up close and personal.  I use editing programs lightly--hoping to keep images natural and raw.  However, I am amazed by the simplest adjustments that make a good photo to a WOW photo.

I took these photos of Clark when he was a little over a week old. Notice the before shot is very red, lacks contrast, and shows a piece of our wall.  After I cropped the image, bumped the exposure and blacks, I reduced the saturation of red and yellow.  These three little steps completely changed the quality of the photo.  I also did a few other things, but I wont bore you with boring photo lingo.  Big difference, right?
