"I am currently using Photoshop for my picture edits. Before doing so, however, I ask the client if they want their pictures edited. Occasionally, a client will want the picture as is. Next, I download the picture to my main computer, saving the original file elsewhere. I'll make all the changes necessary which usually involves changing the lighting and erasing certain blemishes. Once that is done, I'll review the picture once more before sending it to the client."

Nowadays, many people can claim to have photography experience because they take pictures for social media. However, making quality pictures requires more than the initial capture. Showcase your knowledge with photography by explaining to the interviewer what tools you use to make a picture spectacular. If there is a specific program that you use, share that and explain what steps you take to create your finished product.

"My tool of choice has been Photoshop. This program allows me to experiment with lighting in the image, color tones, and erase certain details. I've even played around with adding certain details that were not originally in the shoot, just to see how realistic I can make an image. Typically, my process begins with an upload of the image to my computer. I make a plan of what I want the edits to look like, then begin my process. I always keep an original copy just in case experimenting goes haywire."
