Analisis Pelaksanaan LSP Fotografi untuk Menunjang Karir Fotografi Komersial

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the Photography LSP in supporting technical competencies in commercial photography, particularly in the process of digital photo retouching. The focus of the study is on the stages of street photography, color correction, cropping, masking, and post-editing as part of strengthening photographers' skills in producing visual works that are aesthetically pleasing, communicative, and aligned with the needs of the creative industry. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using data collection techniques such as participatory observation and visual documentation. The data are analyzed descriptively by outlining the initial photo-taking process, identifying visual shortcomings, and detailing the digital editing stages until a more refined final photo is produced. The results indicate that the digital photo editing process plays a significant role in improving the visual quality of photographs. Color correction helps balance color and lighting, cropping improves composition, masking allows for selective editing of specific areas, while post-editing refines the final result. The implementation of the Photography LSP is not only certification-oriented but also contributes to developing participants' practical competencies, visual precision, and professional readiness in the field of commercial photography.
