->> I am looking to starting doing outdoor, family and senior portraits. However, when I look at many other people's editing on their images, I do not understand how they do it.
So I was wondering if anyone had tips or techniques in photoshop or just in general on how I can make my images pop, or stand out.
Thanks! |

->> How you shoot and edit a portrait really depends on what the subject is.
If you want to learn how to make great portraits, learn how to light great portraits.
Strobist is a good resource for a beginner learning how to light and shoot portraits. Go through David Hobby's lighting 101 and 102 series of lessons.

->> I second that.
my best suggestion is: when you begin shooting, be patient. n't feel like you have to rush and take 5k images in a two hour shoot. take your time getting the look you want with posing and lights. |
