I just had to capture that gingery hair.

There's something amazing about it, a cheerful and even dramatic uniqueness.

So, I made the decision to embark on a quest to find a suitable model.

I searched and searched, and searched again, but realized it wasn't as easy as I thought.

So, I kept going and going, and you know where I finally found her?

Not in Haifa, not in Jerusalem, not in Petah Tikva, and not even in Nahariya.

The perfect girl was in the nearby apartment, or more precisely, just across the adjacent parking lot.

Yes, sometimes you have to go to Zimbbuah to meet the neighbor across the door :)

Anyway, once I found her, I was simply enchanted.

A beautiful, delicate, and calm girl who brings a serene atmosphere to the surroundings!

It was amazing!

In her presence, you could really feel the magic at your fingertips!

I felt like I was in a dream, tried pinching myself to make sure I was in reality,

and when I let go of the pain, I realized that, indeed, I was awake...

If I start telling you about the experiences of that production, we'll need 6 separate posts because it was amazing, with extraordinary experiences (including a car stuck in the middle and a foot journey in the dark...). But maybe we'll save that for another time, and for now, let's talk a bit more about editing...

I've often heard that people wonder if in the perfect course "Magic of Editing," girls also learn natural editing style. So, the answer is: "Yes! Absolutely! Of course!"

But you should know that natural editing also requires knowledge and skill!

Natural editing must come from knowledge and experience, combining professional techniques and not the trial-and-error approach of adding random layers with methods that only ruin the image and do the exact opposite...

There are several professional and essential techniques that I apply to every single picture, such as composition, sharpening, retouching, three-dimensional effects, and more. Only after ensuring that the "base" is perfect and professional, I allow myself to decide which style to give to the image.

I can choose whether it will have a natural or dreamy style, magical or mythical, but only when the base is good and professional!

At the beginning of my journey as a photographer, I used to ask myself many times if every picture in the world has to be summarized by adding warmth and reducing blemishes. Or, in the more "sophisticated" case, even adding sunlight?

I edited the next picture based on the "plans" I had at the beginning of my journey:

As you can see, the editing here is very basic, minimalist, and somewhat dull...

Sure, so the editing here is "natural," but who said you can't create an image with "natural" editing that is beautiful, professional, and interesting?

That's why I continued and added more professional warmth to the image and additional techniques that will upgrade its appearance but still maintain the "natural" and pleasant look...

Yes, and you can even make it more natural, but you already got the idea...

I can transform that exact picture into any style I want, and here I decided to go specifically for the natural style but with a slightly cooler, autumn-like atmosphere...

And of course, if you want to go for a more mystical concept, you can edit it like this:

It's just a matter of deciding what I exactly want, but the moment I have the most professional tools in my hands and know Photoshop inside out, I can create anything I dream of and take on challenges!

Why get stuck with clients when winter comes? Why not know what to do when photographing a child with boots? Natural editing is amazing!

But sometimes, there's a need for different edits too...
