“I chose to warm the picture up a bit, purposely blow out the exposure and highlights and bring a little sharpening to her eyes so that the focus was on her face. I think she has a strong expression, it’s what it is compelling about this image as a portrait and I wanted that to be clearer!”

“My name is Aja Peru with aja peru photography. I tend to keep my images very clean with a very slight hint of vintage sometimes (if ever).”

For me, the trick is getting the skin exposure right. Snow throws that and the colour temperature right off.
52) Cropped and the horrible pink cast taken out:

53) High key:
54) More of a sepia kind of treatment. My favourite. I use it all the time.

    first of all, this was beyond interesting. I bet you are super tired of staring at that image, though!

    and to answer your question, those photos were the result of an event we had just to give people affordable christmas photos. I made a promo video and those photos were all of the people who came :) video is below

    Ha?! How did I miss this?! Such a cool idea and so many edits! Some are similar, some are different. I think overall peeps went for the ‘moody’ or vintage style look, a trend I guess!
