Brisbane Photographer || To Photoshop or not?? Before and After's

So I have been thinking about how much I photoshop, and why??

Generally its to enhance what is already there, to add a little bit of texture and create the photo into a piece of art!...

I love texture's so alot of my work has textures, but I also love a clean crisp image. I love people to be just as they are, but I want to compliment them and create what the camera may not capture...

I give my clients funky 'real' creations that you wouldn't get if you were to take your own photo with your own camera.

You will be surprised at how little needs to be done to an image when the photo is taken with consideration for lighting, correct camera settings, exposure plus talent etc....

Remember you can't just take a picture and hope to fix it in photoshop later, get it right straight out of camera!! Use photoshop as a tool to ''enhance'', not to ''fix''

check out the before and afters once a week starting in 2011 :D
