   love all your pictures! Do you mind sharing some basic tricks? What’s the basic changes you’d usually do to your pictures? e.g: contrast/brightness/color balance?

   I do a very high key RAW to JPG conversion and then tweak the midtones/highlights/shadows with dodge and burn (hand-painted) to my satisfaction. No single standard tweak because it depends on each pic/exposure.

   Sometimes with some layermasks, blurring, most of the time I try practising effects like Dragan or Orton and developing my own.

   Hope that helps.

   Jazz – sometimes the girls need to bribe lol but Rae often likes to be photographed unless she’s “busy”.

   Focus wise – depends on what I’m shooting – macro or instances where the subjects are still (portraits of adults – children cannot coz theyre impatient – etc) shots I do manual but action shots like these u need to be quick so auto.

   Settings wise – all manual. Sometimes I use aperture priority when I’m weaving through light/dark places but if it’s again, all the same place, manual settings.
