The Perfect Picture at Sunday, August 23, 2009

It is very common for upcoming designers and photographers to overdo enhancements on their work. This is a habit you don’t want to let yourself fall into. Be careful to remember that enhancements are not to overpower the object that you’re trying to improve. It’s just like perfume. Perfume is designed to enhance ones fragrance but too much of a good thing can do more harm than good. Have you ever had a girl walk by you that went a little perfume happy? Wow… it’s almost nauseating! Well… it’s the same with pictures or video… don’t put too much perfume on it! Here’s a shot I recently took. You can see the original shot as well as the enhanced one. Notice how the enhancements don’t change the overall look of the picture but bring out the highlights and depth of it.
