Throughout this trip, when I was going through the entire editing process, I thought it would be interesting and nice to add a little twist to what I was originally doing. I decided to edit a few of my photographs with a vintage look, so whenever I would be editing and I saw a picture that I thought would look good in “vintage,” I would add that preset. It resulted in a few pictures that I put into this series that I originally just called “Vintage”.

I really like how these pictures came out, and I believe this series shows how versatile photographs and editing styles can be (especially when you’re editing the same photograph differently multiple times through). This entire process helped me improve my editing skills, and also just play around in Lightroom. I’m very grateful for this trip for obvious reasons, but as a photographer, I am very proud of how much I’ve improved when it comes to editing.
