I haven’t shown Before and After images in over a year, so I thought this past engagement shoot would lend some great examples because the lighting wasn’t ideal. The sunlight was extremely bright, which meant my couple was either in the harsh sun or the dark shadows.
Plus, moving in and out of the shadows changed [...]

If you’ve followed my blog or even spoken to me about photography, then you already know what oomphing means.
To Oomph = verb. Annie Tao’s process of editing images
I was taking a gander at some photos online recently and saw some BxW images that were plain as can be. I thought BxW would be [...]

This is a storyboard preview for Jenny M.
I love the photos Jenny chose for her storyboard. Just three photos displayed together can tell the story of how much love and fun exist in a family!
Notes:
* I put Kanoa on the left because of the direction he is facing. And it matches well with the [...]

…to deck your halls with photographic artwork.
I was trying to be creative with the title, but it comes across more like a shameless plug!
One of my dear clients ordered a 10×20 storyboard from her last year’s photoshoot. With each storyboard creation, clients get to preview the design before I send it to the lab for [...]

Of all my new products, this is what I’m most excited about!
I’ve looked all year for albums that I can put my name on. I wanted albums that looked polished and modern, not stuffy and boring. I wanted albums where images were printed directly on the pages — thick pages, not the thin magazine-style pages [...]

For Author Mia King, I took some product shots of her ceramic “live simply” sign.
Since the message was about the simplicity of life, I wanted the environment (or backdrop) of the product to match. So I took a walk around to find some earthy things to hang the sign on. I can’t decide which one [...]

One of my Los Angeles clients just sent me photos of her wall gallery that she created for her livingroom.
As I advise all my clients who purchase their images on CD, you are welcome to print photos yourself at a lab of your choice, but for artwork you plan to display, you will get much [...]

I found the best company for Standouts! They use a black plastic edge, so they are more durable and have a more finished quality than other standouts I’ve seen. I’m very excited to introduce this product to my clients!
Standouts are prints mounted on a thick lightweight board with a black hard plastic edge. The old [...]

It also makes a fantastic birthday gift, anniversary gift, or a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift.

**SPECIAL POST FOR A CLIENT**
Hi Maria! I worked on image #1836 to the aspect ratio of 8×10, the size you wanted me to print. I also know you wanted the image cropped in, so it would highlight the girls more.
For comparison, I’ve included the original, the version you asked for, and an alternative suggestion….
THE ORIGINAL [...]

It seems like many of you are interested in seeing examples of oomph-ified images! That’s what I call images I post-process to get them print-ready.
If any of you are wondering why you should print your images through me (even if you’ve purchased a CD), it’s because you get professional-grade prints AND most importantly, you get [...]
