If the process starts with "let’s go take a photo," I consider the location, time of day, and potential shots to pack the right lenses and flashes. I try to get as much right in-camera as possible, from exposure to composition. Once home, the post-processing phase begins, sometimes immediately, but often days or weeks later. Over time, I developed a custom technique in Photoshop that brings a cohesive, Pictorialism-inspired style to my work, reflecting the look of expired film. This phase includes cropping, adjusting imperfections, colors, and contrasts, and reassessing the image to see what can be improved. I tap into my emotions during this phase, letting them influence the final image. I then export the image in various resolutions and formats for social media and printing and prepare short write-ups for posting.
