As I've said before how I look is irrelevant to the photos I take and the work I do. However, here is a recent photo of myself at Susie's house at xmas.

What does your photo post-processing workflow consist of?

Mine is usually just open, open up levels and curves for color correction/adjustment, get rid of any annoying artifacts (dust, flare (only try to, though...lens flare is stubborn), etc) that may be there and that's about it...

Also...do you have a wide-angle lens? Most of your photos look very narrow and like they have a lot of depth of field.

Mine is about the same - it varies for interior and exterior shots because I can use flash for my photoshoots/the fan meetings so usually those photos need a lot less editing than the non-flash interior ones.

Interior shots:

~ Resize (500px for landscape and 350-400px for portrait.)
~ Adjust brightness/contrast.
~ Adjust saturation if needed.
~ Use blur tool to smooth out any remaining noise.
~ Crop if needed.

Exterior:

~ Resize (size depends upon shoot theme, but is usually around 600px)
~ Adjust levels.
~ Use blur tool on gamers if needed (for blemishes/dark circles etc.)
~ Sometimes post-editing involves adding titles, converting to B/W etc.

I only have one lens for the Nikon (since my kit lens vanished about five months ago.) It's a 70-200mm lens so it's not suitable for wide angle sadly. Hence no team shots. I also prefer to shoot at certain angles due to lighting and being a left-handed photographer.

You resize before you edit? I hate doing that in case I need a larger size for whatever reason...which has happened to me in the past. T_T.

I heard brightness/contrast and saturation tools work like filters...a layer above the actual photo. I have no idea if that's bad or not, but it sounded bad the way my old editor told me about it, so I stopped using anything but levels/curves for color...lol.

Oh yeah...another question. When shooting in the OGN studio, what do you set your camera to? I'm thinking "P" on the dial and 400ISO? I like to shoot full manual, but the lighting changed fucking constantly due to all the lights flashing about, so I ended up giving up on that idea when I went to visit...lol.

How long have you studied korean and how do people respond to you as a white person living in an eastern culture?

What was the most difficult cultural difference for you?

What do you like most about Korea?

What do you mean your university 'recruited you' to come to korea?

When did you first hear about Starcraft (before or after you went there to teach?) and do you actually play the game as well? How long have you been interested in photography?
