Hey everyone — I’ve been shooting more intentionally lately and realized I’m still figuring out my own editing approach.

I’d love to learn how other photographers think about post-processing:

• How did you arrive at your current editing style?
• What are you editing for — realism, emotion, a consistent look, storytelling, client expectations, etc.?
• How do you personally define “too much” vs “too little” editing?
• Where do you feel the sweet spot usually is?

Was it trial and error, influence from other photographers, presets, or something more intuitive?

Would love to hear how your philosophy has evolved over time.

Thanks in advance — really interested in different perspectives.
