I got a few messages on how and how much I edit my pictures so I thought I’d give you an example of my average edit of a picture. In most cases I use Lightroom as well as Photoshop.

Usually I try to get rid of distracting and annoying stuff in the background like a fence or stuff like that if possible, which won’t always work (I usually don’t post those pictures if it annoys me too much). I also “fix” it if he is missing patches of his coat due to being a wild boy among wild boys. And I play a little with the “atmosphere”, meaning the colors. Enhance a little here, give it a bit more contrast there, add one or two layers in Photoshop, depending on the image and what’s possible, my mood and so on.

Because I get asked this a lot, too: No I don’t use presets. I tried but what works for one image won’t work for another and I find it more annoying to adjust those presets than when I start from scratch and figure out what works and what doesn’t.
