Editing a creative portrait session in a high-contrast forest location

I recently had the opportunity to do a creative photoshoot with my friend, Madison. This was my first time doing a session like this and also her first time having portraits taken. We are both very artistic people and were excited to have the chance to experiment with some stylised photos, going for a gothic, moody theme. I wanted to take some time to write about my editing process as I went along. I experimented with some different editing styles, and felt this was a chance to slow down and pay attention to my process and document it here.
