The bottom line is your performance is often made in the editing room – Brent Sexton

Editing photos can refine images, and direct your viewers’ eye. There are a myriad of possibilities to accomplish the task. The results, more often than not, reflect style, and personality. I probably crop everything and I often use the rule-of-thirds to balance my images, but playing with light, and encouraging leading lines are also synonymous with my photography. Most of my edits feel subtle. I like it that way. I fact, the feature image was simply cropped to fit in the window.
