My VSCO Cam editing process, with pictures.

This photo was taken in Atlanta, GA, when Ms. Kovac was kind enough to show me around her favorite haunts. First, I take my photographs with the native iPhone camera app. Then, I upload the unedited photo into VSCO Cam.

Next, I play around with a couple of different crops to see what works best for the image. With this shot, I wanted to get rid of some of the distracting elements on the sides of the image and draw the focus in more on the house and fence, so I opted for a square crop. Also, it makes uploading to Instagram easier!

A word on colors: I like the look of cheap Kodak films like Gold 400. So more often than not, I increase the warmth in each photo to get that golden analogue look. However, VSCO Cam is a little over zealous in how it applies warmth, which leads to anything gray or white being over-warm. To combat this, I apply a trick Kevin Russ suggested in an old blog post: use the highlight tool to make the bright areas of your image cooler, then add just a single point of warmth. I do this for 90% of my photos. If you like a more Fujifilm look, repeat the previous step without adding any warmth.

Next, I increase the exposure by a single point. I find the iPhone likes to underexpose, and this will prevent your images from coming out too dark or murky when you apply your filters. As for filters, the only three I ever use are 4, 6, and 10. For this photo, I used 4. I don’t use 5, as it is the same as 4 but with some fade added, which I prefer to add myself. To avoid dull highlights, I typically only apply one point of fade.

And that’s it! This is my typical treatment when I edit my shots. I find this works for me most of the time, and I mix things up depending on each individual photo. I highly recommend some experimentation and button-mashing until you find something that works for you.

If you have any questions, just ask!
