Sometimes It’s The Post-Process

Being a photographer requires a few different skills to come up with quality images. You need to start with a good eye for composition and a general sense of setting. Having a good angle and good lighting are crucial first steps, but sometimes it’s just not enough.
Developing skills in editing your shots is what really brings out the shine. Sometimes, if the lighting wasn’t quite right, you have to rely on post-processing to salvage the shoot. My latest shoot suffered from unexpected weather and lighting problems, but in the end I really liked the outcome.
*Also as a side note, I try to avoid vignetting because it’s overdone. Some of these shots include natural vignetting caused by lighting, and some I added a little. You probably couldn’t easily guess which had some added because this is the perfect setting to use vignetting.

Recently I had the opportunity to work with a friend who’s just past her first trimester. I’m very happy for her and her husband and honored that I was able to do some pregnancy photography. This is a new style for me and I’m excited to see how this extended shoot will form over the coming months.
Sideshow

Today I went to the Florida State Fair. I like going there for 2 main reasons: food and carnies. I had chicken on a stick, steak on a stick, fried twinkie, kettle corn… I’ll leave it at that. My conscience is keeping me from listing all atrocities.
I also love that carnival culture. From the fire-eating pygmy to the freakshow art to the little boy proud of his prize-winning poultry. It’s a unique experience that really can’t be found outside the fair environment.
Concerning Reality

When it comes to presenting images, some people may consider it lying when a photo is edited. Those people do have a valid point. Rarely will you see one of my photos exactly how it looked when I shot it.
I’ll be the first to admit my work is heavily edited. Reality is exciting, but it’s also a lie.
As you have probably seen by now, I like to take photos at night. If you actually look at these locations at night, they all look yellow. At night everything is a brownish yellow because of lights. This isn’t reality, it’s been edited by colored lighting.
I edit because I like to bring out the ideal reality – what people want to see. What I wish I could see.
First Ever Trevor Blog!

Hello citizen, you’ve found your way to my very first blog. The purpose of this blog is to discuss what I’ve been doing in the world of photography and design. I guess it’s an outlet for the images I love to create.
I like to keep things simple, so my blogs shouldn’t be too wordy most of the time.
Attached to this will be some shots I took from the roof/ parking garage at Tampa General Hospital.
Sit back and enjoy the ride.
