Photography pro tip of the day: Shooting in RAW
🌻
Most of my professional photo experience came from working at a job where I was delivering 200+ edited photos a day on top of video editing so doing detailed edits wasn’t possible. JPGs worked. Very recently I got advice to started shooting in RAW. I always thought it was only a larger file thus only making cropping look better. Oh, how wrong I was. 
🌻
Shooting in RAW has allowed me to make my photos what I want and have been seeing others do for years but never knew how to get there. Using the same custom preset when I compared the same photo in RAW and jpg can’t even be considered the same because one I would post the other I wouldn’t. 
🌻
These sunflower pictures are my proudest photography work to this day. The final portrait finally resembles what I visualize during the shoot. I also created my first custom preset during this editing session which has amplified some of my past edits. 
🌻
Long story short 😜: keep practicing. You’re not going to get better just by watching videos, looking at other peoples instagrams, or using someone else’s presets. That just develops imposter syndrome. Get out there and create your own art that you can say “hey, I did that!”

Shout out to andreachrs and dmchristoforou for finally getting me in front of my own camera
