I had to rebuild the arch and the balcony in CS5 as one half was covered in drapping from some engineering work that was being performed. I thought it was going to be a relatively quick fix however it took some time as I had to ensure all of the metal work was perfectly aligned and in proportion. Aside from that I made some minor adjustments in camera RAW, increasing contrast, blacks, sharpness and slightly decreasing yellow saturation.

Karina: Sweet 16 celebration event in Blue Point New York at Restaurant Blue.

I was asked to document a sweet 16 birthday party a couple of weeks ago. It was a 5 hour event with over 80 guests. I dont think I knew 80 people when I was 16!!!

I shot over 2000 RAW files, condensed them down to 400 and created a 13 minute photo-mentary DVD for the client. You can view a reduced sized version of it here:

I batch edited in Lightroom and fine tuned some of the shots in PS.
