Natural Beauty

Classic beauty in a magical and natural environment. What Meg loves about this image is that the girl is incorporated into the natural environment and you can really feel all the textures and layers. Plus, the image reads like a story when you move from right-to-left, creating a dreamlike story sequence. In this Photoshop editing tutorial, Meg reduced her highlights and made several creative crops to reach the desired composition to emphasize the story. Next, which is one of her favorite things to do in editing, Meg created tonal separation to make the elements in the image pop. Finally, she used color balance layers with greens and reds to create contrast and bring out the natural environment to create a dreamlike, magical image.
