I LOVE what you did here! It’s everything we say at consultations and when asked ‘but can you edit like this’… I may have to borrow this format for my own explanation on my website, as I feel it’s very important to point out the contrasting differences and why the Vivid Color, Sharp/In focus Lines, are Classic and Unforgettable and Speak for themselves!!ReplyCancel

You picked a photo that looks good in your preferred editing style, then poorly applied a filter onto it with what looks like very little understanding of how to create and edit for the “moody look” you dislike so much. There is nothing wrong with either style, and you shouldn’t need to bash someone’s method of creating art in order to raise your personal choices up. If you find yourself being bitter about taking financial hits for not following current trends, either follow them or find more traditional clientele, but outright complaining and bashing other artist’s styles because it isn’t “classic” really just makes YOU look petty and unwilling to entertain the thought of changing your business model when your industry changes. And BTW? Zombies are awesome. (Walking dead anyone?)ReplyCancel

Okay reading this has helped I think I edit more along the way you do I definitely don’t do the dark and moody and I like the light and airy but I have never edited that way I just try to keep true to what I see. I thought I was doing something wrong with my edits and I feel much better seeing the differences in the same images. ReplyCancel
