One thing Iāve really noticed lately is just how much my style and editing has evolved since I started photography in 2020. The growth honestly feels unreal.
For so long, I would capture a photo and then āfixā it in post-production ā lifting shadows, softening contrast, brightening everything so every image felt light and airy across an entire gallery. Cohesive was always the goal.
But lately, Iāve been leaning more into creating art rather than just creating a āprettyā photo.
Iāve started embracing light instead of fighting it. Letting shadows stay dark. Letting highlights glow. Letting harsh light, mood, contrast and natural elements become part of the story instead of editing them away.
Some of my favourite images Iāve ever taken have happened when I stopped trying to make everything perfect and started allowing the scene to feel exactly as it was.
This photo was almost one I didnāt include because the couple were a complete silhouette against the bright background. But instead of lifting the shadows and evening everything out, I leaned into the contrast and made the shadows even deeper ā and honestly, I love the result š¤
If you are a photographer Iām curious to hear what ways you have grown over the past year! Jump in the comment section and letās have a chat!
