Edit Neon Portraits In Adobe Lightroom!

Today was a day I spent too much time watchng Youtube and not enough time doing much of anything else, but I did venture out to take A photo and then tried out a few things I was learning from Youtube videos on Lightroom editing.

I’ve become quite taken by some instagrammers and their editing/post -processing style. I was at a loss as to what it was called and just by chance came across two tutorials that pointed me in the right direction. One was a cinnematic look for portraits, yet to experiment and this one here. This one is called “Neon” portraits, it helps if you’re in a more urban area with street lamps, etc., but I was curious the effect and even though this portrait was taken outdoors with natural light, I like the look of the edit portrait.

For a tutorial and too really see how awesome this editing process truly is:

Adapt, Improvise and Overcome

Finding myself in a situation where the only time I have to shoot is mid week , which also happens to be the worst possible time to shoot, Mid Day! Even with getting up at 245am, by the time the morning ritual is wrapped up and I am free to step out the door and begin my drive to work; I can’t beat day break. Not wanting to stay up late and disrupt a schedule, Sunsets are out.
