The magic of creativity should always be in the foreground of your photographic work.
Since the invention and development of the digital camera, photographers have been faced with the ever increasing offer of processes that are controlled by software applications.
Apps, those little bits and pieces that we can use to, apparently, make everything easier for ourselves.
