This is part two of our deluxe bout of He & She goodness.  (Part One lives here.)

Image_2_after.jpgToday, it's all about the post processing!

TRA: Describe your wedding workflow for us.  Who does what, and in what order? 
 

He & She: After a wedding, Erin goes through and edits down the photographs in Lightroom. Once everything has been edited, I start on the album design while she pulls the "favorites" into Photoshop and adds some Totally Rad Actions love.


TRA: Totally Rad Actions!  How divine!  Any favorites?


He & She: We have our cocktail of favorite actions that we use on nearly every picture (i.e. Boutwell Magic Glasses, Get Faded Winter & Autumn, Pool Party, and Flare-up [golden & faded]).


TRA: Tell us a bit about your post-processing philosophy, won't you please? 

 

He & She: Post processing is hugely important. Taking a well-composed photograph is only part of the process. We have a fun and funky style and we want to make sure that comes through with our editing. We typically will warm up our photographs and add a bit of vintage flare, but definitely try to avoid losing the imagery in a muddy mess of effects. Actions (like the fantastical Totally Rad Actions) are awesome tools to enhance and help define a picture as your own!


TRA:  Well said.  Now show us some post-processing recipes
