>>3123209Thanks anon! Most importantly using a nice sharp lens helps a lot before doing any editing to get a good shot.
But I use Adobe Lightroom to edit my photos. This shot was done with natural lighting, so when I do that I go in and brush out the model and boost some settings on her selectively, like +.5 exp, add a bit of sharpness, contrast, etc. Then that gives the illusion that it was shot with strobes. I also edit the eyes, and boost those to make them 'pop'. Then from there I edit the rest of the photo as a whole to get the colors and feel I envisioned in my head.
