'Photoshoping'

Image after using Photoshop

I have never claimed to be an expert when it comes to using photoshop and I think that this boils down to the fact that I would rather never have to edit my photos in it. This however raises the problem that I am not a technically advanced enough photographer to not have to use it, especially for a project like this where I wanted the images to look well finished. It has been a bit of a learning curve in terms of using photoshop as I have developed new skill that I didn't have prior to the FMP. I would however had liked to have spent a bit more time on each image as some of them had to be rushed through due to the fact that I hadn't left myself a lot of time towards the end of the project to print the pages.

I think that I wouldn't have been able to use a lot of the images I have if it wasn't for photoshop because some of them were quite under or over exposed and I think that this was down to the fact that it was the first time I had tried shooting people in a documentary style, where you sometimes don't have a lot of time to set up your camera for the shot.
