I did not really manipulate my camera settings but I edited the photo to make the exposure less intense, the colors such as the reds and the blacks more vibrant and I took away blemishes. This photo is representing the pain and struggles Ramon and I have been through. Half of our faces is the things people see from the outside, the torn up half is what people cannot see. The first year of our relationship was awful we did not know each other and constantly tore each other apart. It caught up to us eventually as the years have gone and we came to a realization. Fixing ourselves before trying to fix "us". Now we are in bliss and work towards prosperity after bettering ourselves. but the past will always show.
