Hi, guys.
I've been stepping outside my comfort zone and doing some editing on portraiture, as I'm hoping to invest much more time in wedding and event work, where these skills are vital. I've bought and acquired a lot of literature, and spent much of this weekend applying what I've learned. To that end, here are my first few edits. I'd love everyone's feedback and constructive criticisms!!
I've included the original straight-out-of-camera, and my final edit (done using LR3 and PS Elements 9).
Groom, at a recent wedding. Vignette and skin softening applied.
My girlfriend at a friend's house. Vignette and color correction applied.
My friend Matt at the Intrepid. Vignette applied.
Bride at a recent wedding. Skin softening, vignette, and cloning (on dress) applied.
Ana Ivanovic practicing at last year's US Open. Background blur and vignette applied to bring focus onto the player.
My girlfriend at Celtic Fest in Bethlehem, PA last year. B&W conversion and skin softening applied.
Enjoy!!
