VSCO Editing
So we come to the photo here. One thing I do in VSCO is, it's a black background, so I add a border to it. Because, like I said, all my photos go onto a white background on my website, on Instagram. Boom, so now you're editing against a white background. And I'll go through and just do some slight changes in the VSCO tabs. Add a little sharpness sometimes. Bring up a saturation, maybe. I'm beginning in the HSL panels and just brightening Sonora's jacket there. All right, so that's the before and that's the after. Just by holding your thumb down, you can see the before and after. And then I'll hop into the filters and just see which ones I wanna use. I have my favorites I usually use. And I'll just go through those first. They're a little harsh on 'em, so I'll usually find one that I like the general color of 'em and then, like, the AL3's looking pretty good. I do like the warmth of the AL5, however, it's a bit heavy, so I'm just gonna take it down and just mess with that. Before, after...
. Very simple color cast there. Bump up the exposure a slight bit. Come into the contrast, up it a bit. Before, after. And the last thing I notice is that little white section almost bleeds in to the other white background, so I'm just gonna clip the highlights a slight bit. Boom. So that's the before, that's the after. Quick and easy. VSCO is the ultimate quick-fix tool. And that sums up my editing process. For this, I was focusing mostly on single photos, but I think it's really important to keep in mind how you edit a collection of photos. You can go to the blog post I linked in the workshop PDF and it'll take you to the entire edited collection. One thing you'll notice, is I try to keep it very consistent and cohesive throughout. I mean, picture it when you're looking at a magazine or something. If they're all over the place in the editing, one's really dark, one's really bright, and it's just all over the place, it's just not gonna look good. I wanna see every image supporting the bigger picture. I don't want one image to just stand out really heavy on its own, necessarily. Maybe that hole in the wall shot for the landing page on the website, but when they're all together, I want each image to support the bigger collection as a whole, I don't want one image to take the spotlight. I want people to see the story and I want people to take in the collection, which leads us into the next episode. A bit more about my book, which is made entirely of collections. So, yeah, let's get into it.
