Lindsey’s Answer

Hello! I think this effects are the mark of the artist. 10 photographers can take the same picture but the effects are what differentiate them. I have seen pictures that look overdone and they're almost always over saturated, meaning the colors are exaggerated in ways that detract from the beauty or intrigue of the photo. I would recommend focusing on the elements of photography that manipulate the light. Light is the most important element in photography, so when you manipulate the contrast or darken the shadows, it often creates a more dramatic effect in the picture as a whole.

Ultimately, as the photographer, what will set you apart are the elements, overlays, and features you utilize to make the picture look the way you want it to. Trust your instincts.

Good luck!

I'm not a photographer, but I believe there are a ton of courses about this topic on SkillShare. They have a lot of deals and trial memberships, so I'd highly recommend giving them a try. It's an amazing treasure trove of useful knowledge done in high quality video explainer courses.
