I’m back from my Alaskan cruise (and have about a zillion photos to go through) and thought I’d ease back into blogging with a fun before and after from Ciara & Joe’s beautiful wedding at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens.
Here’s an example of a color corrected proof and an artistically edited Signature Image.
The color-corrected proof has had the exposure and contrast adjusted from the original and it is ready-to-print.
In the Signature Image, the general tones have been warmed to signify that the bride & groom were photographed at sunset, the greenery has been given a slightly more lush color, and the skin has also been softened. The final image is a little more “dreamier” than the proof and is the image that I actually saw in my head when I captured Ciara & Joe embracing following their ceremony.
Sometimes the effect used on a Signature Image can be drastic to achieve a certain goal — and sometimes it can be very subtle. I like posting these “Before and After” entries so that you can see the different methods used to achieve what I “saw” as I released the shutter of my camera and created an image with my clients.
