Any tips for budding photographers wanting to add some depth to their photos!? Posted one year ago
I am former art-director though, which keeps me running each and every shot thru photoshop.
I keep a focusing eye on the species I shoot but try not to destroy natural colors or moods.
Especially for macro shots I always keep some surrounding within the shot to show the natural habitat (and to show that it is not a studio shot).
That's what I only do in post processing:
- Finding the best grafical composition, adjusting it to my format template (I never use any other)
- reduce or delete grain
- adjusting contrasts
- adjusting tones (within the given natural palette)
- most of the times vignetting in order to work out a better focus on the focal point Posted one year ago
