Patriotic Pin Ups in Times Square by Jason Lanier

This image was taken at my workshop in NY last year in Times Square.  This was shot during the middle of a protest that actually ended up getting pretty hectic by the time all was said and done.  It was an awesome shoot and an exhilarating moment!

"You must photoshop a lot to make your images look that good!" No, I just know how to shoot.

I get asked all the time to post images pre-edited so I thought I'd post this one from my workshop in West Virginia last year as a side by side with the completely edited image.  I'm not trying to be cocky, I'm trying to show you all that if you take the time to learn and put in a lot of hard work your images should not require that much post processing at all.  If I taught a photography school I wouldn't allow any students to even start editing classes until they showed great aptitude and ability in the photography skills.

STOP RELYING ON PHOTOSHOP.  AS LONG YOU DO YOUR WORK WILL FALL SHORT.
