Clean It Up! - A Post For Photography And Photoshop Lovers.

Photographing in Hilton Head has its perks, however; it still comes with a handful of challenges for creating impressionable portraits. From humidity, heavy winds, to working around beach goers, we have learned to do our best on the front end to not be consumed with Photoshop work on the back end. Even still, a little touch of the foreground and background can take an image from average to exquisite.

 Removing the people in the background is expected. The sand has been cleaned up as well as the reflection on the water from the little boy with the bucket. We decided to remove the shadows on this image because it does not enhance the overall impact of the portrait.

Tip for the day from your favorite Hilton Head photographers: 

  "When editing, start with removing distractions in the background. This will help determine the focus of the portrait and provide a clean, refined look." 

Happy snapping!
