I took this screenshot to display the difference between the photo I take and the photo that comes out of the post-processing process.

Each photo I take goes through this process and I work it all manually.

For me, I like my colors to pop vibrantly. I like my blacks super black and want my whites to be overblown. This is something that can't be attained in-camera, but I do a slight overexposure which allows me to create works like this.
