I’ve seen this one, I usually refuse to edit someone else’s photos but a friend of mine came to me with some absolutely terrible wedding photos. They were sooooo bad. I went to look at the photographer’s work on his Facebook page (this was in the mid 2010s) and there were some really great photos, but the ones that were good were all in a studio with models and grouped together. Usually you get a little info from posts, but these were just photos with no captions. The rest ranged from mild cringe to just ok–nothing that came even close to the handful of well lit and composed studio shots.
She got married the day after Christmas which severely limited the pool to choose from, but she trusted his work based off those stunning studio photos. I didn’t add any artistic effect, just clean edits for color correction (white balance was way off, she really wanted a white dress) some skin editing, crop/straighten and noise correction. Dude had an older crop frame and cranked up the ISO to the cameras max and let’s just say camera sensors have come a long way since then. I usually rename photos when I export, these were all original file names and for the most part sequential. Some of them were barely in focus so I’m guessing he just tossed a few of the worst and delivered everything else. There were maybe two that looked edited and it was BS Pinterest crap with words on the background. It was bad. Also an absurdly high number of photos of people who were taking pictures with their phone or the bride scrolling FB while getting her hair done. Like some weird passive aggressive thing about the phone photography at weddings trope. But I did make a couple black and white because it was just easier than the huge amount of time it would have taken to fix them properly and I was doing it as a favor.
