Here you can view some of my older photo manipulations:
Before my photography road I first started off with image manipulation, where each and every element was added after the main photo was taken. Here I could rise to the top of my creativity and fantasy. Dragons, jungles, galaxies? You name it and I made it come true. The funny thing was, that each and every time a screwed up picture, that wasn't usable in any way tickled my fantasy and from that on I made every adjustment necessary until I reached my inner vision. YOU CAN SEE HERE, THAT MY IMAGINATION WENT ON FAR AS HELL!
I guess that by first diving into the photo manipulation world and after that beginning my photography journey I couldn't get out of the whole editing process, and that is why I have always made great efforts to post-process my images. To me, a simple, out-of-the-camera image is not what you usually see with your eyes. You need that extra kick or boost in post-processing for your image to resemble the true nature of what you have seen.
