RETRO REVIEWS
Iron Maiden – Fear of the Dark
I was first exposed to Iron Maiden in Mr Miller’s middle school art class where he let students paint 7' x 7' album covers on the wall. If they were great, they would remain. Eddie was painted in his padded cell for 1983’s Piece of Mind for all three years I was there. In my head he still remains. I graduated high school in May of 1992. Iron Maiden had already released 8 albums, and established Bruce Dickinson as their lead singer for 10 years by the time Fear of the Dark was released that same month.

Before / After – Joe Satriani
When I began doing photography I was (and still am) enamored with the crazy high contrast and details of Anton Corbin’s work. If you’re not familiar, I highly recommend you check him out. The look of his work has greatly inspired how I approach my editing. Obviously I start the basics, proper exposure and white balancing. For a photo like this one where the light itself is pretty neutral, it was only a minor tweak. To create the high contrast look, I pumped up the contrast a bit and and lowered the black levels significantly. I then lowered the shadows a bit as well to set Joe off from the background...
