Photo Friday | VSCO Film

Well, I figured it was about time to share how I edit with you guys. I’ve had quite a few people ask lately, and I figured this would be the easiest way! Anyway, a few months ago I was became really unhappy with my editing style. I wanted something timeless. I had been using Totally…

This is gold! Thanks for sharing some of your secrets! :) The before and afters really show off your photographer’s eye. The raw images are stunning, and you know just how to coax the color out of them for a perfect finished product!

VSCO is amazing! They’re the closest presets to the best film ever existed! Great choice Jen!

I’m with you on being a minimalist. These pictures look great I’m going to have to try that app.

Wow, I have never heard of that program! I currently use corel paintshop, but I feel like I only know how to do 25% of the editing on that program! There seems to be so many options on editing alone and I could edit one pic for 40 min lol
Did you take any editing classes??

jennifer blair - May 18, 2012 - 5:41 pm

Cool Tiffany! I’ve never heard of paintshop! I didn’t take any classes, although they probably would have been helpful! I just learned by trial and error…lots of error! Hehe!

Danielle - May 18, 2012 - 7:37 pm

It looks like a great editing program! I’m really going to look into it~ thanks for sharing with us.
I’m also a minimalist when it comes to editing. I think less is more.:)

I am…

Breeanna - February 4, 2012 - 1:37 am

These are such great tips, and yes I did learn something new. I’m going to some self-portraits with my tripod see get some practice in posing. I want to start doing potraits :) Thanks so much for taking the time to share!

twiggy - February 4, 2012 - 2:29 am

ah! thanks for all the photo tips! i’ll have to follow you on facebook to keep up.

the most *cringeful* one? self-portraits with a tripod. yikes. i’d have to find a secluded spot so as not to feel dumb.

Natalie @ NS Pottery - February 4, 2012 - 3:09 am

Great tips!! I’ve learned a lot just from trial and error with my camera. When I look at my etsy photos from when I first opened shop, I can see a world of difference now! By the way, I’m going to see Need to Breathe with my dad in April!!! Soooo excited!! :)

P.S. Yes, lets do the “No” game together!!

Thanks for the tips! A friend of mine once told me about the rule of thirds but I like who you showed it in an actual picture! It’s so fun to play with different techniques!

Charlotte - February 9, 2012 - 8:41 pm

Love these tips! I had a bought of over-editing fever myself…I like to think of my over saturation issues like VanGogh’s blue period. ;-) Also, your gorgeous photos are giving me serious fancy camera cravings-so glad you stopped by my blog!
