Hello dears! Let's talk today about the art of photo processing.

Artistic photo processing, what is it and what is the difference from the usual? Standard photo processing includes color correction and skin retouching.

In the artistic photographer creates a tinted, hand draws the light, the shadows, creating the ambiance and liveliness of the photo. Such treatment is a long and hard work. These photos of Eva in the birch grove are made just in artistic processing.

I wanted to create a photo of a Sunny autumn day and convey the joyful mood of childhood. I hope I succeeded. I'm still learning, so don't judge strictly. But I'm learning quickly, so I think soon will please you even more colorful and beautiful pictures.

I do this processing in photoshop, using many layers in the work. The first layer is the application of the Blur filter. I blur the background even more to give the photo volume. Then I create a new clean layer and draw light and dark areas on it. This method is called Dodgeburn. Thus the photo becomes alive and three-dimensional.

And at the end of processing, I add sunlight and glare to the photo. To do this, you can use the gradient in the camera Raw. Or draw them on a clean layer with a soft brush with a yellow color. And apply on this layer mode "Soft light". Thus the photo begins to Shine. And we feel its atmosphere and warmth.

And now look at these same photos in the usual treatment with the use of color correction only. Do you feel the difference in perception? What photos did you like the most?
