The first shot I started by using an adjustment brush in camera raw and lightened up around the people. Then I took it into photo shop and did some air brushing. I started with the skin, then went on to sharpen their eyes and teeth, I adjusted the girl's eye brows a little as well. I used the liquefy tool a tiny bit to widen their eyes a little and to make the girl's hair look a little fluffier.
The second shot I adjusted the lighting a little, mostly in the sky to make it darker. I did some basic air brushing on her skin and sharpened her eyes. I also cropped the picture a little and added a bit of a blur in the background.
The rest of the pictures I did about the same kind of editing as the first two, except for the pumpkin carving one. This picture had really bad lighting so I tried a match color with a picture with better lighting. it turned out okay, but it looked a little unnatural so I desaturated it a little then added some of the color back in. I added all of the color back in on the pumpkin so it would be brighter.
I like your edits on the group pose "Dad and Elizabeth" Increasing the exposure brought out the greenery in the background and the colors in the subjects clothes. Also, cropping like you did brought your subjects a little closer giving them more focus; it seemed to really make a big difference in the way the photo was presented.
ReplyDeleteLove love love! Your editing skills are really impressive to me. Maybe next time you should try to pose your subjects more when they're in a group. I would have liked to have seen what you could do with more than just one person when posing them. I really liked your work though!
