RE: Beautiful Ella Kay's Portrait in Seattle - Nikon D7000 (Friday #portraitphotography)
Normally I wouldn't do this, but since you ask for feedback: I think all photographers need to learn how to edit pictures! For me photography exists of three steps: 1) clicking the button on your camera, 2) selecting the right pictures from your hard disk, and 3) editing those pictures into the end result. After those 3 steps it can be called 'a photograph' :-)
Your model (other half :D) is really beautiful! But I will show you the difference after some really basic editing (this takes me 30 seconds to do). Imagine what can be done with the original/raw picture :-) (Without the original file the air gets overexposed, but you get the idea :-))
Thank you Rosanne!! This is exactly what I was looking for! I really appreciate the feedback and the work you did :) Would you suggest using a particular editing software? If you have any other suggestions please share!
You're welcome! Keep on trying and bettering yourself, asking feedback is a great start! One more thing I made add for this photo: try to keep limbs in the picture! In this picture maybe not both of them were possible, but the hand leaning on something would have been the one I would have tried to keep in the shot, even with some 'room' around it :-) Once you've focussed on keeping limbs in a shot for a while you'll never overlook it again! :D
As for software: I use Lightroom which covers all my needs! I'm never changing too much on pictures but always try to get the best out of it, which is what you will find easily done in Lightroom.
Enjoy and good luck!
Great advice, I really appreciate it! Will definitely take note! Thanks again :)
