Shot on an old Nikon d5100, edited on photoshop. Had to scale the image to 25% of it's original size as i dont want to waste 50mb on people's instances.

It's funny because most people think the image automatically comes out like this, and they don't know about editing the pics to make them pop and sizzle

I can imagine you'd be able to take a similar looking photo raw as the edited version if you could control everything in the scene, but most of the time you can't control all lighting and colors, so you have to edit the image afterward. I guess that's where computational photography falls into place, but it does make a lot of errors, and obviously doesn't know how you want the image to look.

When I first started with Photography, I was clueless about how technical it is, and was just the gear itself, and then flash photography adds to it, and once you figure that out, then there was the editing and how to make colors pop. I'm 5 years into it and I am still learning. But colors have to pop to me, or else it's dull, but its also a balance of not blowing out skintones.

You have to play with the settings on each picture or you can do a blanket edit, but I personally do everything one by one
