While you may concentrate on making art, some of the most important images you will ever take are when you are with family and friends. A common example is when you travel for a holiday and these end up being the photographs your family will look back on for years to come. Here are some tips for quickly improving them with a simple post-production process.
I have come under a lot of criticism from my family over the years for two things: I don't take many pictures when we're on holiday and I don't share many of the pictures I take. I'm aware of both problems, but I'm working on improving them! The reason for not taking pictures while we are away is not because I'm a professional photographer and I want a break — I love taking pictures — but rather because I have always aimed for a great, memorable shot. That inevitably leads to me not taking snaps at all.
The second half of the problem is I don't share many of the images I take. This is related to the first problem, but I also begrudge editing the images I don't love, but at the same time, I don't want to share unedited images as they're unfinished. One of the best ways around this, for me at least, is to readjust my expectations of the snaps I take while on holiday and to slim down my post-production.
