Nothing is photoshopped, apart from white balance, resize and watermark.

My personal policy has always been - if you couldn't do it in a darkroom, don't do it in photoshop - but that's just me
While I understand and admire your view on that ... surely that's a quite limiting view? The end result is all that matters ... and if you have to make a change to the hue or the red tone or the brightness etc ... isn't that acceptable? In fact... isn't that essential? You go out ... you take a load of images ... then you come back home, weather has changed, so you can't go back out and do the shoot again, and you find that all your images are a little dull because the light outside wasn't so nice ... so you want to add a little brightness and warmth ... a subtle orange tint etc ...

Surely all that matters is the end result... and not the means to get there?

I'm just throwing that around. I'm an artist and I draw stuff... Perrie's the one who can take good photo's .... but as an artist ... I don't care how I do something as long as the end result rocks
