Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Matthew Platero

I use a 10-step RAW editing process that includes lens corrections, transform, crop, white balance, exposure, contrast, color dodging, burning, cleanup, and sharpening. Afterward, I enhance the image further through color grading, masking, and levels adjustments. For printing, I collaborate with Spokane Art Supply to produce high-quality prints. Each piece is matted onto MDF board and spray-mounted for durability. Once set, I apply a protective varnish to preserve the work. Some pieces are completed with a custom frame to enhance presentation.
