Before/after editing my photos! (Patreon)

Thought I'd show you what my photos look like before/after editing! I don't normally edit the entire photo myself as that's usually done by the photographers I work with, but I actually really enjoy the editing process so I'm always happy when the photographer allows me to do my own edits ^^

Mostly I just increase the brightness (I find the curves tool work best to control the highlights/shadows), and play around with colours a bit- I don't know a huge amount about changing colours drastically, but I always prefer more purpley/cooler tones so I try and stick to that. After that I do cosmetic editing of myself, such as removing blemishes and any parts of my costume/wig that aren't sitting quite right.

Tbh I don't reeeally know that much about editing, most of what I know was learnt online or knowing what looked "good" through Instagram! I use GIMP to edit which is basically a free version of Photoshop, but I'd love to try out more professional software like Lightroom in the future!
