Designing a Digital Portfolio

Vision & Voice
Refining Your Vision in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
What if your image could only communicate one thing: one major idea, overarching theme, or driving emotion? If you identified this, you'd discover your vision for that image-the internal, invisible guiding principle that directs both how you capture the image and how you develop it in the digital darkroom.
