DavidVRJWant the secret to good photos? Don’t overedit them! If you don’t like the way your photos are coming out straight out of the camera, you’re doing it wrong! I used to hate canon thinking they take worse photos than nikon, but I found out it was just me taking the bad photos, not the camera. Quit making people look like plastic and learn to use your camera wisely! I’m turning 21 in 2 weeks, I’ve never taken a photography class before, I got my first dslr in january, and I started taking headshot pics less than a week ago. Now, check out this pic I took a few hours ago http://www.davidvrj.com/Category/Headshots/i-TtnrkHc/0/XL/damn-XL.jpg
The only thing I edited in that pic were some stray hairs that were bothering me. Besides that, that’s how it came out of my camera. Learn to see light, compose and play around with your camera settings; that’s what separates a professional pic from an amateur one, always.
