"Enhancements" & "Edits"


Now I am not Going to knock anyone's "style" or anything that other photographers do. If they do it or need to do it and it works for them great. However at BKM Photography we are very big on getting our images correct and looking good in the camera meaning that we don't have to do much to our images after they are taken because they look there best because we use our skill and knowledge and professional equipment, to get the best photograph out of the camera. So we don't have to use filters and photoshop to change the exposure to our image or enhance the contrast or sharpen the image giving you that fake look. We like our images to be as real as possible we like them to look like natural photographs not something from insta-gram. Now can we crop and remove blemishes yes and thats something totally different than making you look like you are made of stone and frozen like a statue. All of our images that are printed by us are color corrected and density corrected by our lab making sure you get the best possible prints. Thats one of the reasons it is important to hire a photographer that offers you printed photographs. Only a professional photographer using professional prints can give you the best prints possible. If you bring your pictures to wal-mart, walgreens, blurb.com, or shutter fly, even if the images were taken by a professional photographer you are not going to get professional images. I as  professional would never suggest any of those places to a customer to get there professional photographs printed. The image in this blog was taken in camera using off camera lighting to get the best possible exposure. No "editing" or "enhancements" needed!
