How amazing are the editing techniques in Korean photography?
"Korean wedding photos have amazing edits!" is a common saying*
Nowadays, due to advancements in technology, we live in an age where we can enhance photos infinitely with smartphone apps, but there's still a certain un-naturalness that makes you feel, "This looks obviously edited."
But!
The editing in Korea is truly spectacular.
Even with major modifications that make someone look 20 kg lighter, the results are surprisingly natural*
No matter how advanced the editing app, achieving a natural -20 kg level of adjustment is difficult...!
In this article, I will introduce some before-and-after examples of Korean wedding photos.*
I will point out the changes, so you can compare and say,
"Certainly, it's quite different!"
"Oh, this has changed too...!"
Please take a look at the top-level editing techniques of Korean photo studios while comparing the images*

I have introduced some before-and-after examples of Korean wedding photos.*
It's shocking to see such dramatic changes...!
I used to think that all Korean brides were cute and thin, but perhaps very few people are actually that slender.
We all have an ideal image we aspire to be.
Since it's a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative photo, I think it's nice to make a few adjustments and leave a perfect image*
