Introduction

I have attended a few photography workshops in the past 2 years and one of most important and interesting topics i have learned in this period is about Photography editorial.

One of the post by Master Che' Mat at facebook about photo editing and manipulation recently prompted me to start this thread.

Copying from IPA thread about Editing:

Definition

Editing is a process where curating, editing, and sequencing photographs to better communicate their project intentions and narratives, or refine their personal photographic voices.

Over the years in lowyat photography thread, many just post random pictures. Seldom i have I have seen forumer share their body of work or editorial work here. (With exception of Heartpatrick and some at the Showcase thread).

I am still very new in this, so i am trying my best to encourage everyone to learn together.

Usually a good body of work, will raise question by the end of the presentation rather than answer, it must allow you room to think and imagine.



Hopefully master like Ifer, Goldfries and others can have more valuable input on this topic and i will hope to keep this thread alive with many more tips from all masters from LYN.

Personally, i dont think alot of ppl will take part or interested with this thread, but yes, if you do, feel free to post yours. It's free afterall.

Wanna share photos from my recent short trip to Shanghai, China,

A total of 45 pics.

Short Trip at Shanghai - Sept 2013 (45 photos) @ Mokochan.com

and here's the tight edit of 5 pics. All 5 pics in color, identical post processing, all in landscape mode, all shot in Shanghai.

My own critic: The last pic is pretty weak as i cant decide between a few others. The current 5 pic allow all 5 pics with "gaze" by the subject.



Other options for pic 5



If pick this, there's no gaze and nothing dynamic about the photo either, the only connection with the 1st four pic is the umbrella and something on top, be it a hat, umbrella or inside a phone booth.



If pick this, there's gaze from the subject and subject with umbrella and something, which connecting with the 1st four pics, but the picture itself in my opinion, not that great



If pick this, there's no gaze, the only connection with the 1st four pic is the umbrella, but there's some dynamic and tension in this pic.

Any feedback?

Nice post buddy i like your comments and information. Thanks for all this.

Is this for street type photography?

Can be for any type of photography

Hi friends, i am trying to improve my photo editing skills and would like to offer free photo editing service to my friends who travel and would like to have their photos edited. Edit will includes basic dodge & burn, cropping, aligning and sequencing of photographs taken by you. Do pm me if you are too lazy to get your photos edited or you need people to take a look at your photos.

Off course, you own your photo's rights.
