The first and most important edit to make on every single photo?
EXPOSURE!!
If you said WHITE BALANCE, hear me out โฆ.
The white balance is the thing that is going to help bring back what your eye really saw in real life but itโs nearly impossible to get right if you donโt first correct the exposure.
Thatโs why the number 1 thing I always fix is the exposure and THEN I immediately go for the white balance.
Kind of a trick question, Iโll admit, because the white balance is v v important too.
But exposure always comes first.
Next time you find yourself having a hard time getting the color right, make sure youโve nailed the exposure.
That, or use my presets, which are already designed for all the lighting scenarios youโre shooting in ๐ Just say โALWAYS SUMMERโ and Iโll send em your way!!
Save this for later and let me know if that was helpful!! ๐๐ป
