- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I am very new to the business, and right now I am really struggling with finding my own style. I seem to be getting plenty of work, and everything is really through word of mouth at this point. I have a modest website, a limited portfolio (but its growing everyday) but I still seem to get many people calling and emailing.
They say they love my style.
Yesterday and today I am editing photos from a shoot I did on Monday. I am probably more happy then I have ever been with the raw shoots. I feel like my exposure is very good in most shots, and there is very little need for adjustments. So this should be the fun part, shouldnt it? where I can really show my style by how I process the photos (and yes, I do understand that style comes from my eye, composition, lighing etc as well).
The problem is I have no idea what to do. I have tried several different styles, but nothing feels right. Some I have left alone, and with a slight adjustment, and maybe a slight crop, I thing they look good. I struggle on making them look great.
Is this because I am new, can you "get over" this hump? Maybe my limited PP skilss are to blame? Am I just not creative enough?
How long did it take you to find your style? And how can I find mine?
