AUTHENTICITY

1.
NO.

When possible I much prefer creating photographs that are as impeccable as possible straight out of camera.
I prefer to adjust hair and clothing before I take a photo so that the moment stays as real as possible.
Where is is not possible, I edit the tiny details that make a moment extra magical.
