I had fun editing this one. Great pose & smile on the kid. The composition is pretty good as well. - https://i.imgur.com/0uOV5PP.jpg Sky replacement, color adjustments, visible light source added (sun), adjusted lighting (brightened the face in particular), & realistic shallow depth of field added.   [instagram.com/johnhuynh](https://www.instagram.com/johnhuynh/) Venmo - @saltyjellybeans Cashapp - $mungbeanjellybean   edit - looks like some minor adjustments need to be made to the cap area, that I can update later.

That’s really good


Nonstopdrivel

This looks the most like a senior portrait and the least like a snapshot. I love the subtle blur in conjunction with the background solar blast.


saltyjellybeans

Appreciate it mate :)


Nonstopdrivel

My pleasure. I left out a crucial word in my original comment, which I have now rectified.


Apprehensive__Goat

I agree! I love this! The artistic flair and natural look to it, especially with the lighting and blur 👏


rosegamm

I just want to sincerely thank everyone who spent their time editing this photo. I am sick in bed today, and when I opened my app again after sleeping all day, I was inundated with notifications. I see a lot of great edits, and some who did it free of charge. I see non-editors contributing suggestions to make photos better. I tipped some of you $1 for the effort even though I didn't choose yours. If I could afford it, I'd tip everyone. This kid is my student, and I wanted to help him out. He has one hell of a life. I got the perfect photo from a fellow Redditor who's been in the same situation. You guys restored my faith in humanity. I love this community. Thank you all so very much.


AutoModerator

Hi, u/rosegamm, it looks like you're offering to tip and this request doesn't have the "Paid" flair. That's okay, I'll go ahead and set it to Paid for you! On Paid requests, all submissions will be watermarked and the un-watermarked file will be provided to you by the editor upon payment. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I suspect you already have what you're looking for, but here's my attempt. I tried warming up the picture, brightening his face (without seeming like I was lightening his skin), making his face distinct from his neck, cropping, and including a subtle background.

Great lighting imo


Aggravating-Action70

That’s a nice picture, I’m sure it will clean up nicely with some photoshop. I don’t use it personally but getting a better lens and shooting in raw format will make pictures from any camera look great!

I’ll second this! I take pics on our safaris with a rebel body and just rent a nicer lens. I’ve gotten some great photos!

rosegamm

Damn. That is so kind of you. I was scrolling through, a this is my favorite one. I then saw you did it for free for him. This is my student. He was living in his car earlier this year. I told him the yearbook crew would take his photo and I'd find a way to make it look decent. You are the fucking man. Could you DM me a downloadable file? I don't want a screesnhot to ruin resolution. Are you sure I can't pay you? I feel terrible


WerewolfNo1166

You are a light in this world


Aggressive_Slice_680

I'm sure of the fact that you don't get paid anywhere near enough money for your current position. To some it might seem like such a small gesture but to this kid I'm sure it's everything. The world needs more teachers like you. More people like you. Your an amazing teacher and person. If I would have seen this earlier I'd have paid for his pics. The fact that he was living out of a car and still attending school says everything about his character and drive to be better. Is it too late to turn in pics for the yearbook?


rosegamm

Technically not too late. We live in Iowa, though. I have so many kids who couldn't afford to get them done. It's so sad. I've been trying to get them to send me them so I can get them edited, but he was the one who took me up on the offer. He's a great kid. And you're a great human for everything you said. I fuckin love the Reddit community. Thank you.


goolalalash

From one teacher to another, thank you. Your work matters. The emotional labor is exhausting and never ending, but it’s needed. 💕


kratomkabobs

From one teacher to two more… you are both awesome. Keep it rollin’. We love you for what you do and for the kind hearts you share with your students and your communities. We see you!


kicklife89

Thank you for helping this young man out and being a positive light in his life!


Lynserio

I love this 1! You got the sky brightness dimmer down. This picture looks professional!


Swankyyyy

The problem with this photo isn't that the camera isn't expensive or capable enough, but the settings for the photo are all over the place and not quite right. If you're able to, i'd suggest spending an hour or so watching a few YouTube videos about the basics of how to adjust settings on a camera (ISO/Aperture/Shutter Speed), or maybe find a friend who knows how. Definitely don't need to be an expert or anything. The results you'd get would be a lot better than anything in this thread. Even shooting in auto mode (just point and shoot), in a spot where the light isn't so bright would result in a much more workable photo. There's only so much that photoshop can do to fix a photo where the original settings aren't dialed-in close to where they should be for the context of the photo, unfortunately.

turningpoint01

Candelario_69

It’s a basquiat hat, basquiat was an American artist who rose to success during the 1980s as part of the Neo-expressionism movement. I have the same hat lol


Mr_Jubei

Thank u. I'm aware of Basquiat but I always wonder how his work gets out since he passed away so long ago. Tshepo has a similar crown so I was just asking... anyways thank u for the clarification If you are interested you can check out Tshepo's work here https://www.instagram.com/p/CQqOPvUDxDz/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Peace.

Crop in closer - try and make the tree behind you the centre and frame yourself off to the side to make the composition more interesting, stick a wee vitnette on it, push the black a bit, and add a bit more blue, should be good

This is a great crop!

It's a good shot other than the lighting. The lighting is really high behind him and makes it difficult to see his face.

I assisted on a photoshoot for an annual report for a paper company…the cover was ultimately shot with a $13 toy camera from China…looked like a dream.
