Most of the time, I take photos on behalf of my clients. But sometimes, they have a backlog of usable project photos. Unfortunately, they are usually cell phone images that need quite a bit of adjusting. Good thing I enjoy color-correcting photos. This photo of an impressive landscape project will be featured on an upcoming website launch. In the original photo, the colors are very dull and faded. But that was the camera's fault. The landscape design was actually rich and vibrant. When I correct the colors, my goal is not to create a fictional version of reality. My goal is to make the photo look more like it did in real life, with real human eyeballs. That way, the images (and the website design) get the attention they deserve.

Three things to consider when planning your brand refresh: 1. While mood boards are great for inspiration, avoid using only pictures. It can be hard to create something new and fresh when looking at what has already been done. Think about lighting styles, color, texture, environment, and moods that you want to convey. 2. It can be scary trying new things, like implementing a new trend or going slightly off-brand. But different and BOLD is what gets you noticed. Especially in today's social market. 3. Waiting till the last minute. Planning is always the way to go when starting a campaign. Last-minute work is possible but it will cost you! Tight timelines usually mean higher stress and less creativity flowing.

In The End As a landscape photographer, I love to compose my images in such a way that elements can separate easily from each other. It makes the composition much easier to read. That image is a good example of that… I have photographed Bow Lake and Crowfoot Mountain countless times in every seasons. It is a truly striking place. Crowfoot Mountain has a very distinct pyramid shape from that angle which simplifies the background by a mile. But the foreground can be really chaotic. Of course, if you have a perfect reflection, no need to worry too much about foreground. For some reasons, I was never really lucky with reflections there. I love that composition with the cute little creek guiding our eyes straight to the mountain. The issue I have with that location in general is the abundance of green vegetation. When everything is green, you can’t really make sense of anything. You can’t separate the pine trees from the vegetation…for a very short time frame in fall season, all the low bushes, moss patches and plants will turn into the most vibrant shades of gold. And it doesn’t last very long! I think I captured it beautifully here at sunset! This was a pure fall season dream! Captured with my @canoncanada EOS R5 and RF 15-35mm f2.8 at 23mm, 1/5 second, f11 and ISO 100. #dantyartphotography #shotoncanon #naturelover_gr #hikingbangers #amongthewild #roamtheplanet #hikingtheglobe #special_shots #jaw_dropping_shots #earthpix #depthofearth #earth_shotz #earth_shotz #alpscape #welivetoexplore #imagesofcanada #tourcanada #explorecanada #heartofcanada #canada_photolovers #canadavisuals #cangeo #canada #livelovecanada #travelalberta #albertacanada #discoveralberta
