As you know, I became a professional photographer over the past 3 years through the New York Institute of Photography. With this, I was drawn to Photoshop immediately, as it's the leading software for many things...including 'photo teasing' as I call it. It's an amazing program, and even after 3 years, I'm still learning as it is very, very complicated. I do have a level of comfort with it at this point though, and it's helped me improve my photography...not that I rely on it to FIX my photos after the shoot. Great photographers always try to 'get it right' the first time. I use it to improve some things that just couldn't be avoided, or to create art...or just tweak a little here and there.
Lewis took this picture of Dane, which I love. The composition is perfect, but being a 'snapshot', he wasn't overly concerned with lighting etc. I knew right away that I could do a little of this, and a little of that, to enhance it. Here's the before and after...

Dane is a seriously cute kid. Just sayin'.
