Holy shit was this a hard shoot to edit.
I shoot all the time probably a bit more often than the average photographer but rarely do I shoot in light that doesn’t really fit my aesthetic.

This week I finally started shooting for clients again.
It’s been what feels like an eternity and sitting down to edit these photos today was extremely frustrating.
The typical way I color my images were just not working at all so I really had to stretch my brain to find a solution.
Although the photos are not 100% where I wanted them to be I definitely learned some things today.

Which is the entire point of why I am writing this blog.
I’ve never learned anything from editing pictures that are easy to edit.
If you can slap a preset on a picture because the lighting is so perfect in camera then that’s an amazing day.
I always try to get my images as best I can while I am shooting for 2 reasons.
One is that you never want to rely on editing to correct your image afterward and two being because retouching takes way longer than shooting.

Whatever struggle you’re going through in your photography or editing process doesn’t give up on it because it can be worked through. Even if there are no resources on the internet to help you through the problem keep trying different ways to solve it.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been at my wit’s end with a photography issue and I kept cracking on it until my brain cracked the code.
