I loved his little side smile!
Edited Photo
I enhanced the warm tones of the original, sharpened the details of his fur, and blurred the background so all focus is on the cutie in the center!

Taken at Golden hour at the Arirang World Tour in Tampa, just before the band hit the stage. I blurred my sister's face for her privacy.
Edited Photo
I removed the attendees seated behind us, brought out the golden overtones of the photo, and cleaned up the shadows around us. I wanted to really capture the emotion I was feeling in this photo--I truly felt golden.
Original Photo
Shot with Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 on my way to work one morning. The colors were so beautiful and vibrant, but this photo didn't quite do them justice, so I decided to enhance it.
Edited Photo
I enhanced the purple tint in the clouds, making sure to contrast it with the darkness of the road and trees, giving the sunlight on the horizon the focal point.

I took this photo during the ment after Aliens on Day 1 of the Tampa Arirang Tour stop. The stage lights and the LCD screens that made up the big screen at the concert really seemed to dull Jin's naturally warm-toned skin and hair, so I wanted to bring them back in my edit.
Edited Photo
I leaned into the warm tones of the original shot, blurring the background a bit more, while also bringing out the highlights of the stage lights reflecting on the subject's face and hair. Selective sharpening was applied conservatively to preserve the softer qualities of the original while improving overall clarity.

One of my favorite selfies to date, but I knew it could be better with some touching up.
Edited Photo
I softened the background to minimize the distractions, brought out the natural light from the window to complement my hair, and brightened the whole photo to emphasize the overall warmth.

This photo was taken during Jimin's ment after Aliens at the Arirang World Tour in Tampa Day 1.

Concert photography presents unique challenges due to LED screen refresh rates and shifting stage lighting conditions. This edit focused on restoring natural skin tones and improving contrast while preserving the atmosphere of the live performance.

My sister and I had the privilege of being in Tampa for Day 1 and 2 of the Arirang World Tour, so we commemorated the moment with this aesthetic photo of our lightsticks.
Edited Photo
I pulled the purple highlights out of the original photo, complementing our skintones and capturing the waning light of the evening. The cool tones really bring to mind the anticipation of what was to come!
