How to add color and life to your photos

How to add color and life to your photos:
Good day peeps, here is the shot of the day, I was at the zoo all day yesterday and I was lucky enough to get to feed this awesome giraffe, during the feeing I asked him politely if I could snap some shots and he said yes. This was the alfa male and was massive and bad ass. He was surrounded by ladies so he is definitively a king. I love animals so this was very special to me.

Editing product photos

Editing product photos.
Hi peeps, here is a photo of a Oakley Watch I did for someone, and I wanted to show you how eazy it is to actually edit. It’s really not as hard as you think. Perhaps other photographers use other techniques but this is how I do it. Let me know what you think and I hope you find it useful when you are shooting products. You can practice this by simply taking some of your own stuff from around the house.

Day time long exposure tutorial

Day time long exposure tutorial

As usual I went out shooting all day yesterday. I was actually making a video on how to make a time lapse, but next thing you know I got side tracked by my surroundings (one of the reasons I love photography) and I started shooting long exposures. Next thing you know I was making a tutorial on long exposures. This is what a typical day in Edin’s shoes looks like. Click on the photo and check it out. Please let me know what you think and please, please, please share it. Have a great rest of the day peeps and enjoy.
