5 Years of editing improvement in one photo

Over the last few years, my photography has changed for the better but that doesn’t meant my photography was bad 5 years ago. I could still take a very good image and my lighting, was pretty decent (though not nearly as good as now). With this photo, now days, I would have added a light back right, to bring up the hair and back, making the photo have more pop.

So I thought, I would go back to some of my old work, take a look and see how I would edit it now compared with 2015. It turns out to be dramatically different, in both terms of knowledge and detail. Probably my biggest step forward is my editing. I wasn’t very good at Photoshop back then, I could do a basic edit but I would miss some of the details.

Now days, I generally get a lot of compliments from other professional photographers about my editing and that is one of my biggest achievements because I have achieve this through hard work and practice.

Below, we have a similar image taken during the same shoot. Showing a comparison to the work I shoot now and the work from back then.
