My final images are comprised of between 5-20 ambient light and flash base exposure images; sometimes more. This is so that I have full control over the lighting of the image, even after the shoot is complete. Distracting, non important, visual elements are removed, vertical lines are straightened, light bulbs are replaced, dead grass is brought back to life and odd colour casting is dulled. It is these little details that bring my final images from a nice image to an eye-catching, highly polished image you would see in a magazine.
Here are some examples to show varying amounts of editing done. The before images are straight, unedited files; just one ambient light exposure used to create the final image.
