While photographing Karin, who is an aspiring model and actress, for her profile photos, I asked if I could take a few more shots of her.  I wanted to photograph her in the style of my Fine Art Children’s sessions. Karin was excited and eager to comply.

We got some lovely photos of her. Karin, who is age 12, was unbelievably comfortable in front of the camera and easy to work with. Which I have to say,  makes it doubly fun for me. This photo was one of her absolute favorites from the session, and actually, it was my favorite as well.

Showing the “Before and After” photos can be amazing to see the evolution from straight out of the camera to my finished vision. When I take a photo I am always seeing the vision of the finished photo instead of what the camera actually sees.

Besides all the planning, designing, choosing the lighting and posing in order to get good photos,  next comes the vision I want to create in photoshop.

As you can see, I changed the color tones, did some skin retouching and added texture in the background to create a much more dynamic image.
