Editing

Our take

Editing photos often raises questions about authenticity, particularly in genres like street photography. While some editing, such as applying filters or presets, can enhance an image, it can also lead to a portrayal that feels disconnected from reality. This tension between artistic expression and genuine representation prompts reflection on the value of capturing a moment as it is. In what situations do you find editing beneficial, and why not strive for that perfect shot from the beginning?

To me it seems that atleast in most situations editing photos kind of makes the photo unrepresentative of what it actually is trying to portray.

I know in some situations of course editing photos is kind of part of what you are doing, but sometimes maybe in street photography it kind of confuses me when they show before and after, (or just the edited photo you can tell is edited) and it seems to just kind of ruin something that could have been more or more realistic.

If you do edit your photos after, in what situations do you edit them, and why not just try to take photo that is good from the start? (In specific situations of course)

Edit: when i say editing i am mostly referring to use of "filters"/presets
