Before and After

BEFORE

Above is a recent image that I shot in Vermont. I normally don't put a lot of Photoshop techniques into an image. I might add some blurring, use levels or curves and add a vignette, but here I decided to push it a little to see what I could come up with. I like pushing the envelope when shooting but rarely on the processing end. I like the result - see the "after" image below.
This is a mixture of changing the contrast, adjusting the saturation, adding a B&W layer and changing the mode of certain layers.
This might not work for every image, but it certainly added some "pop" to this one.

Let me know what you think!

AFTER

Vermont Tourism

Spent a week in Vermont shooting people in the environment - specifically at Quechee Gorge. It rained almost every day which created some pressure to get the shots I wanted. One nice thing about an overcast sky is the great quality of light when shooting in the woods.

The project was to capture real people enjoying the beauty of Vermont. It's titled "You Could Be Here"

Here is a selection images. You can see more on my web site under "New Work" (here)
