Boost your Creativity by editing in Photoshop
For this project, besides setting all the plans and arrangements during the shoots, I edited in Lightroom Classic. Once done that, I wanted to add something more to the picture and make the “creative juices” flow in order to come up with something different. So, after editing on Lightroom I went and used Photoshop to add different elements to the original material. Here’s what I came up with after editing:
For this picture I shot in Sky Mountain Lodge in Victor, Idaho. I used the Rouge FlashBender to expose both the sky and the model properly. Also the available natural light was my light source. The original picture looked like this.
I added another picture that I took close to the Tetons and the new background for the picture.
Also I came up with this picture. This one was taken close the the Teton National Park.
Originally it looked like this.
Then I just added a royalty free image of the sky to change the background. This image I got it from the free stock photo website https://www.pexels.com/
And finally I did this picture in my studio.
I added a royalty free image that has a lot of texture. This image I got it from the free stock photo website https://www.pexels.com/
And this is how the original picture looked without the Photoshop editing.

I loved the textures you used, Erika! It adds great depth and helps the photo tell a story. The one of Dave is awesome! Here’s a link to my blog post about adding textures to a photo.
