Retro Review: Futurebirds – Baba Yaga
can remember the first time I heard Futurebirds. It was 2014, I was driving through Ohio listening to Spotify radio that had taken over from a playlist I’d made.

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.

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...
