I hear all the time… “Man, your camera takes good pics”, “What camera do you use”, or “I need a camera like that, so I can take good pics too”, etc…
I can’t stress enough that a camera doesn’t make the photographer… the photographer makes the photographer. Just like a pan doesn’t make a good chef, the chef makes the chef. We both have a personalized form of art that is made by the person and not the equipment. So my answer to above questions is to just rock what you’ve got.
The below pic is of my friend Jess from Follow Her Arrow (I’m using her as an example because I know she won’t mind, LOL)… but the left is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) before any editing…. just a plain ole regular pic. But the right was after I played with it in photoshop with my “secret recipe”, LOL. It’s actually a simple edit… (I mean come on, she’s a cutie already!)…. but you can see how the color is popped, a few distracting details removed, highlights brought back to normal levels and slightly cropped in.Hope y’all enjoyed this B&A!
