CONTACT SHEET RAW FILES

From the very first time I entered the darkroom and saw the magic happen in a developing tray in-front my eyes I was taught as much as possible I should try to create the image in camera. Rather than follow the fashion for simply click and fix in post I have always been taught to think first and have an idea, this philosophy is one I hold today and feel that through striving to master the technical aspect of the camera and lenses I am better prepared to create images that have a purpose rather than following the latest instagram lead fashion.
By studying these images both on camera and on computer I can firstly adjust settings in camera to create an image that comes closest to the image I hold in my head. Looking at the RAW images also enables me to identify the adjustments I need to make to produce the final image.
