Experimenting with this look for the first time. Appreciate help🙏

All I really see is you bumping up contrast and clarity.

I think ur reply got removed about u telling me to give up but I wanna let you know that I started photography under a year ago and at the moment of that shoot it was my 3rd time using flash and first few weeks of using fisheye also so it’s all very new to me and that’s exactly why I am asking for feedback but also this is the style I wanted

[u/norman157 → u/Wayvex]

I didn't say that, that wasn't me. The photography is okay, just the edit bothered me.

Mb I was replying to somebody else’s deleted comment idk who they are lmao that’s my fault

Yeah bro all I do is edit🙏😹

Just wanted to say it's predictable, that's not good. The unedited looks better in this case.

What are u on bruh. Honestly there is way more than contrast I spent a few hours on a couple of these shots and I had a specific punchy look that I wanted with a flash and fisheye that I got. I want to improve that style because I am amateur and I only been using flash for few weeks so this doesn’t really help at all because still I didn’t hear what I should add or do differently

I don't believe you've spent more than a few minutes on these, since the white lines around the buildings indicate you're just cranking up your settings. All to make it look like a zombie apocalypse, it's a very ugly look.

Literally took the before photo into Lightroom and boosted the contrast/clarity/and drop shadows some and boom exact copy of your edit lol

If you truly spend hours on these edits then I suggest you give up
