Why Your Photos Come in Two Versions — And Why It Matters
Hello! Spyros here from Naxos Photographer.
Let’s have a quick chat about photo editing—but not the automated kind that's everywhere online these days. I'm referring to proper editing, the careful, thoughtful kind we specialise in here at Naxos Photographer.
We're not just pushing buttons randomly; we're crafting memories carefully, and we do it twice, because why not?
The Philosophy of Our Editing
Booking a photography session with us isn’t just about receiving a few nice snaps. It's about acquiring handcrafted imagery. Each photo undergoes individual editing in Adobe Photoshop. No shortcuts or batch edits here—just thoughtful adjustments including:
Skin retouching: Farewell, mosquito bites and sunblock smudges.
Colour correction: The Aegean Sea remains faithfully blue, just as you remember.
Lighting adjustments: Getting the balance just right so sunsets dazzle without overshadowing your moment.
Background refinement: Ensuring the focus remains entirely on you, without distractions.
Our aim isn’t fantasy creation—it's about capturing the authentic feeling of your time in Naxos, simply polished and enhanced.
Dual Delivery: Why Two Versions?
Now, here’s the intriguing bit: each photo we deliver comes in two distinct flavours:
1. Original Edit – Authentic & Natural
Exactly as you remember it—true colours, genuine atmosphere, polished but fundamentally honest.
2. Artistic Edit – Atmospheric & Cinematic
This version introduces a gentle artistic interpretation—perhaps a warmer glow, a soft matte finish, something cinematic. Ideal for albums, frames, or showing off on social media.
Why two?
Because tastes vary, and moods can shift. Sometimes clarity is preferred; other times, poetic license is desirable. We give you both, so you don't have to choose.
The Experience We Aim For
When you explore your photo gallery from Naxos Photographer, our hope isn't just that you skim through some images—we want you to relive moments:
The gentle breeze on the beach that caught your hair perfectly.
The spontaneous laughter shared with your family.
The tender moment following a surprise proposal.
These aren’t merely photographs; they’re chapters of your personal story. Hence, our delivery of both an honest, straightforward edit and a more stylised, emotional version. Your memories merit both accuracy and artistry.
Who Is This For?
Our dual-delivery editing method is designed specifically for people who care about depth, detail, and quality over quantity. If you:
Value professional editing and timeless photographs.
Prefer meticulous editing rather than generic filters.
Enjoy having both straightforward and artistic options.
Are considering a couples session, family photoshoot, or romantic proposal on Naxos.
Then our approach is precisely for you.
Quality Above Quantity—Every Time
Admittedly, carefully editing every photograph twice takes a bit more effort.
Yes, automation would be quicker. Yes, presets could be simpler. But we avoid these shortcuts deliberately.
Why? Because shortcuts rarely tell your story convincingly.
Every image we release has been refined with care and attention, leaving you with a carefully curated gallery of genuinely meaningful photos.
Why Our Clients Keep Returning
We regularly hear that our photography and editing feel distinctive—more human, more thoughtful, more sincere.
Clients often say things like”
"These images genuinely take me back."
"The artistic edits are simply beautiful."
"It's wonderful to have two versions of each photo."
That's what happens when you do things properly.
One Island, One Story—Yours
Naxois isn't merely a location; it's an atmosphere, a feeling, a memory whether you’re exploring the charming lanes of Naxos Town, relaxing on Agios Prokopios beach, or making memories at Portarawere committed to preserving those moments.
Twice—giving you the choice, every time.
Final Thought
In Today's hurried world, where "good enough" has sadly become acceptable, we deliberately choose to do things differently—slowly, methodically, and personally.
We sincerely hope you enjoy both.
