Photo Flow starts before you ever pick up your camera – it is also something that happens while you’re capturing image. It’s that part of photo flow that I want to talk about today.

The above layout was created with a photo that almost didn’t happen. We had just finished a few shots when I happened to look over at Kate sitting down with her face resting in her hand – I instinctively shot this shot:

Which obviously caught her by surprise so I asked her to smile nicely for another portrait and got this:

The above is processed a bit differently from the layout photo which brings me another piece of Photo Flow and that is post-processing and editing. I recently created a tutorial for Wacom using Photoshop Elements, my Bamboo Create and this photo. It takes you step by step through the process of removing harsh skin tones and artistically applying filters in Photoshop Elements to enhance your photo. You can find it here. You can find more holiday Wacom goodness here.
