Here’s a processed image from a shoot I did in July last year, in the Blauwe Kamer in the Netherlands. Originally shot in soft sunlight, I’ve cropped it because of the darker right side of the image. In Photoshop, I added coloring, some rain, dust and some effects to the right, and extra light and colorizing to the left side. This gives the image a more enchanted look.

Not having her placed on the right (to give space where she is looking towards) was done on purpose. Normally I follow that rule, but in this case it seemed more appropriate to divide the picture in half like this. Darkness on the right, lightness on the left. The two sides of Maaike.
