Hello again! I hope everybody is staying well and productive. I’ve been really lazy these days unfortunately. -_-;;

I wanted to share another photo that I took of Chloe. This picture was taken in San Marcos before we took a trip to San Antonio. The reason I’m showcasing this work is because I’ve recently been studying a lot of different techniques in Photoshop that can really take my photography to the next level. The style of photos that you see in the covers of magazines and publications is what I’m trying to shoot for here. I want to try and create a more artistic look, as if the photo were to be painted onto a canvas. I’m now practicing on improving facial features of the subject too. One thing I refuse to do is change the shape or body of a subject. God blessed each of us with our bodies and gave each of us our own distinct look. One thing that I don’t believe he exactly blessed us with are temporary dermatological defects such as acne, scars, rashes, etc. Features like these don’t help a photo, which is why I’m more than willing to remove them. Amazingly enough, Chloe has incredibly clear skin and I did not need to retouch it. The only thing I did was darken her makeup to make it appear more bold, made her lips slightly more pink, and gave her hair a brown tint to match her outfit. Basically it was just a play on colors. There’s no way that I could make her more vibrant than she already is and I love it! It took an extremely long time to clean up the cement and give it a uniform look, but the result speaks for itself. Hopefully my pictures will continue to improve over time, so cross your fingers!! Tell me what you think! ;)

The title of this picture is called “Exit.” Sometimes I feel that my life can be somewhat of a maze from time to time. Whenever I get stuck in a situation, it can be hard to find a solution or the proper way out. Nonetheless, if I stay strong and keep telling myself to work hard enough, I will eventually find the proper exit out of it. With this photo in mind, I hope that everybody can find the solutions to the problems that they have in life, so that they can find their proper way out. :)
