18 October 2012 One Comment

Great images are built from three ingredients: A solid understanding of photography, artistic flare (creativity), and the ability to post process an image appropriately. Photography is clearly an art form, but so is the technique of image processing. Every image requires unique processing, and knowing what to do and how to do it is the final step in producing a truly remarkable photograph.

    Carla, I am excited to all of the bauftieul photos you have to share. One thing that I know for sure -if you take the time to put it up, I need to take the time to take a look at it. You have incredible skills and an amazing eye for bauftieul pictures. We still LOVE what you did for us! It doesn’t seem like that fun, casual, and bauftieul afternoon would’ve produced such awesome pictures but it did and EVERYONE compliments your work. Of course I think it had something to do with the subjects, but hey who knows, right?Good luck, even though I know you won’t need it. You are obviously super talented, and destined for nothing less than a successful and fulfilling career of making people feel every time they see your fabulous photos (especially when it’s of them!)Your #1 Fan,Paul Neulandp.s. Correction, #2 fan, Leon is your #1 fan!
