Short version: I’d like to see your edits of the above image. We’ll post some of our favorite versions on Objective Scenes next week. You can submit your photos to ObjectiveScenes at gmail.com or share them on our Flickr group along with the tag “showeredit”. We’d also love to hear a brief description of the thoughts and process behind your edit.
Long version: I took this photo of Panfila Suarez in a hotel room in NYC several months ago. Even though the image looks heavily edited, it actually hasn’t been modified that much other than cropping and some contrast. The lighting/setting was pretty organic and I love the way the shot came out. Since then I’ve played with several edits, like the ones below, which got me talking to some friends about how I should approach the editing. Pretty soon we were sharing different edits of the photo and offering critiques. It was a pretty fun experience, so I thought I’d open it up to other folks to participate in.
Panfila has given permission to post and re-edit this photo, as long as it isn’t published or sold. Blogs/flickr/IG is all okay, just don’t put this in your gallery show. Also be sure to credit the Doctor Popular as the photographer.
