Unless otherwise indicated, no significant subject matter in the Khristian Snyder Photography collection has been added or removed using digital processes. With the very rare exception of an occasional minimal artistic liberty, the photos within the Khristian Snyder collection have not been "altered", "doctored", "artificially enhanced", "manipulated", or "exaggerated." The photos are accurate representations of unusual and beautiful moments of reality witnessed and express how the scene felt at the time.
When digital adjustments or color corrections are made, it is limited to the fine tuning of exposure, color, and or tone. These adjustments are necessary due to the inability of digital cameras to capture a scene as humans see them. Although the highest quality digital cameras are used to capture these images, no image in the Khristian Snyder Photography collection is computer generated, or artificially contrived!
With the exception of an occasional use of a polarizer filter (to reduce surface glare on water) no filters are ever used. These images are strictly about light. The unusual dramatic lighting effects in the collection are captured by countless trips to a location, very rare lighting conditions, painstaking patience (sometimes years targeting a single location) hundreds of images taken, high end equipment, long exposure techniques, low ISO, and meticulous professional digital darkroom interpretation / processing skills.
Occasionally images will be digitally processed to give a creative artistic effect to a scene and to enhance the reality. Such images will be clearly captioned that they have gone through such a process.
