The editing – One-to-Three

Shooting in Raw allows you to play with the editing and colors as far as your imagination lets you, which opens up a world of creative possibilities. In this process, I decided to not push it too far, as I wanted to maintain a balance between enhancing the images and keeping them hopefully stylish and in the mood to the original scene. That said, I did have a lot of fun experimenting with different adjustments and settings. All but the last image were edited in Lightroom, where I utilized its tools to refine the tones and improve the overall look. For the final piece, I opted to use Photoshop, which provided me with greater control over fine details and allowed for more intricate manipulation to achieve the idea I had in mind.
