Yeah alright so blogging hasn't been my greatest strength, I'll admit it, I'm a big enough person to recognize my weaknesses and point them out to everyone. But I've realized a few things: #1 I don't always have to talk about myself. I mean, who wants to read about me all the time. Even I don't want to know what I'm doing all everyday, so why would you! #2 It is incredibly selfish not to share what you know. Tips, tricks that fellow photographers might learn from. God didn't give you a gift to have you keep lock within yourself, RIGHT!? #3 There are so many phenomenal photographers out there that I admire and respect enough to share with you my friends, so I will be putting some of their work and links to their blogs on here as well. There, are we good? GOOD! Let's get started....
I've been incredibly busy lately with senior pictures. Right now I'm working on an old friend from high school's daughter's pictures and let me tell you, there is nothing that will make you feel as old as shooting someones kid that you graduated from high school with. I remember when she was pregnant with her...Ugh! Okay, moving on....
The one challenge that I usually have with high school seniors is they're skin texture. Because they're hormones are completely out of whack, some of the areas of their faces can be as smooth as silk, then the others a little more pronounced and shiny. And this is why I love Photoshop!
I recently saw this video courtesy of YouTube.com....
Seems simple enough it works REALLY well...
Skin tone can be difficult as well, found another video that can help with that too.
Below are some examples of the before and after.
Both beautiful and wonderful young women, but that added touch of smooth skin really makes them glow...
I plan on doing a full preview of all my senior shoots once I'm done with them. And I'll continue to post some tips and tricks as I learn them along the way...
