Portraits (before and after!)

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone! Here I'll post some of my favorite photos that I've edited lately, while including an original export as well. I'll start with before (unedited) version first and put edited photo bellow.

All photos edited using Adobe Lightroom and PortraitPro. I hope you'll like 'em!

First up, Selma before:

...and after:

DSC06455_pp2i.jpg

This one is one of my favorites because the difference is very noticeable and the after picture is much better, more dynamic and the sunset is far better.

Next one, Azra before:

...and after:

DSC06841_pp.jpg

Not a huge difference, but the edited photo seems much more enjoyable to look at. I've added more light to her face, which I usually do, cuz that's where the attention should often be in portraits.

Next up, Lejla before:

DSC07123-3.jpg

...and after:

DSC07123-2_pp.jpg

This one also turned out great when edited, the dynamic in the photo improved dramatically. Also the light on her face is really nice in the final photo.

And finally, me before (hehe):

DSC07397-2.jpg

...and after:

DSC07397_pp.jpg

Looking at the photos now side by side, I noticed I turned a bit yellow in my edit and that I should've worked slightly with yellow hue or something. All in all, the after photo is still better in my opinion, and mistakes are a normal part of learning anything I guess. I've also cropped the original photo, cuz there was to much empty space in the upper part of photo.

What do you guys think about these edits? Upvote if you like my work, I'll post new photos daily, some of these showed up in my earlier posts, but I figured it would be nice to make one post with a few edits (including originals) in one place.

Thanks for your attention, talk to you soon! Cheers :)
