This week, I&#8217;m prepping a large batch of photos for the book. \u00a0Together with my principle photographer, Alisha Westerfeld, we&#8217;ve travelled throughout Northern California shooting dance events, performers, models, and collections. \u00a0But sometimes, the pictures need a little &#8220;help.&#8221; \u00a0 So I thought I would share a before and after. This little shrug was designed and made by the noted costume designer Alnisa for dancer and assiut collector\u00a0Sindaiya. \u00a0Alisha and I were fortunate enough to shoot her collection. \u00a0While this started as a really nice photo, I did a little photoshop magic to darken the background, remove the light stand leg, and adjust the contrast so the pattern pops just a wee bit more. \u00a0 I&#8217;ve got another 300+ photos to massage in preparation for the book. \u00a0 Photo editing is a delightful winter task!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2941\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2013\/12\/photoedits\/photo-editing-before-and-after-web\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?fit=438%2C657&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"438,657\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?fit=438%2C657&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2941\" alt=\"Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?resize=438%2C657&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"438\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?w=438&amp;ssl=1 438w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?resize=100%2C150&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2013\/12\/photoedits\/\"><img width=\"100\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?fit=100%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?w=438&amp;ssl=1 438w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?resize=100%2C150&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" data-attachment-id=\"2941\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2013\/12\/photoedits\/photo-editing-before-and-after-web\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?fit=438%2C657&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"438,657\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Photo-Editing-Before-and-after-Web.jpg?fit=438%2C657&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><p>I&#8217;ve been working on the book furiously over the past weeks!
