The second year however we switched to digital photography. And although photoshop opened up a complete new way of post processing photo's, I refused to use it to its full extend. Nowadays I am using it extensively. I'm however still reluctant to use photoshop when processing weddings, simply because of the amount of photo's I would have to process. A wedding would simply not be commercially viable when having to process every single photo in the album. For weddings I still believe that the photo needs to be created at the moment you press the shutter.
Lately I have been shooting a lot of models in studio... and I have been using photoshop a lot. Setting the light, making sure the make-up is ok and getting a beautiful model in studio is a very good start, but without photoshop, where would we be;
I tend to use a beauty dish quit a lot.A beauty dish is used to create beauty shots. Beauty shots are not really my cup of tea, but I like doing it (I'm just not good at it). Looking at the unprocessed photo's rarely makes you feel in awe. The beauty dish is really unforgiving, every flaw in the skin is picked-up. So without photoshop, we would not be speaking about a beauty shot. The next picture is a before and after, just to illustrate that we do put some effort in our work. My biggest problem is knowing when to stop?
Or we could add some hair.
