I focus on subtle, story-driven adjustments rather than heavy effects. A few things I consistently lean on:

  1. Local dodging and burning to guide the eye toward the subject
  2. Gentle vignettes (and dialing them back if they start to look obvious or “dirty,” especially on snow or bright backgrounds)
  3. Enhancing the true point of focus (often the eyes or key texture) while letting less important areas stay softer
  4. Careful control of glow, HDR, and sharpening so they support the scene rather than distract from it

Is there a specific type of photo you’re curious about (portraits, landscapes, proposals, HDR, etc.)?
