Okay, since some people don’t really know the difference between a straight out of camera (SOOC), standard edit, premium edit, and black and white edit- I thought I’d go ahead and share. The image I used for the examples is actually a ‘Brenizer method’ photo in which I used multiple photos (in this case 37 of them) to create one bigger one, similar to a panorama it helps create a telephoto lens look while maintaining a large view of the scene.
This first picture in the post is the first picture I took for the Brenizer method.
This is the entire Brenizer method photo put together, unedited, and straight out of camera.
This photo was edited in LR2 and is my standard edit for color, contrast, exposure, vignette, curves, and white balance.
This photo has a premium edit where I used a various sort of actions (mostly TRA) and a good amount of dodging and burning to help the couple pop a little bit more.
All photos on my blog and slideshows are edited this way, (as of fairly recently), the client will receive all premium edits that I do for the slideshow which usually consists of around 60-80. They will also receive a file of all the standard edits as well. I edit photos to black and white when I feel that the photo calls for it.
This photo has my black and white action applied to it in Photoshop (which again is mostly TRA)
Photographers have anymore questions? Feel free to ask me here.
