greyxeyes asked: What kind of effect u gave to the pics? Some photos look like u take them from Instagram, but with better graphics! hahaha

I get this question a lot, so if you don’t mind I will answer it publicly.

I import photos into lightroom, tweak a couple things, throw them into photoshop where I use adjustment layers (normally selective coloring, curves, and gradient maps) to get the photo to look however I feel it looks best. Then I do whatever actual retouching needs be done, and then I save it back to lightroom where I normally adjust saturation or vibrance if need be… I know I can do that in photoshop, but I like how lightroom handles it better.
