This photo was taken by my grandmother during a family reunion back in September. This was the first photo taken of my brothers and I since 2015. I was so grateful for this photo and I still am! The picture itself is so meaningful, however there were a few tweaks I wanted to make.
First, I resized the image. The white background of my Papa’s garage was great, but I wanted to focus on us a bit more. Then, I warmed the images by raising the yellows and reds. This helped give us all a bit more color on our faces. I raised the contrast and saturation to make us pop even more against the garage background.
The edits were nice to do, but the meaning behind this photo is treasured so much more than any editing can show.
