PHOTOS THAT DIDNT MAKE IT

2024/7/22 Edited to

... Read moreMany of us have photos that we hesitate to share, often because they don't represent our ideal selves. Whether it's a quirky expression, an awkward pose, or simply not feeling like ourselves in the moment, these images tell a story. It's crucial to recognize that every photo has value, capturing memories and emotions that go beyond mere aesthetics. In today's world, social media puts immense pressure on us to present a perfect image. However, embracing vulnerability can be liberating. Reflecting on why certain photos didn't meet our expectations can help build confidence. They offer a glimpse into our real lives rather than the curated perfection often showcased online. Participating in the #lemon8diarychallenge, users can candidly share their experiences with these photos, creating a sense of community and support. Remember, every picture has a narrative worthy of expression, and imperfections can make our stories even more relatable.

This is how I make my photos have that little “Dark Effect” My go to is having my camera exposure at -0.7 all the time, but when I do forget I go to photos and edit it, since I already have it in on all of my photos, I just copy and paste edits. I hope this is helpful (: #photo #photoedit #d
