a while back somebody asked me to show the process i go through on an image from start to finish. i don't typically do heavy photoshop work on most of my images, but every once in a while i see an image that at first glance doesn't look like much, but i see the potential that is hidden. my personal opinion is that photography is about what happens in the camera and between the photographer and subject and photoshop isn't very necessary but if you have a VISION for your image, that is where photoshop can help. below is a before and after shot of my vision along with the video of how i got it there. it's a touch long, but hopefully it will help. please leave any questions or comments you might have.
