Portraits

 This photograph of a friend of mine in college is still probably one of my favorites in my collection. It was a warm spring day during the graduation ceremony at the college we attended.


 this photo is of my nephew when he was about three years old. Everything seemed to just come together for this shot.




This is of my nephew and niece a little later on when I think he was about four and she was six.

Clone tool

This is the original. It is sweat from the bottom of a glass on a styrofoam container. I saw it made an interesting kind of face so I thought, why not rearrange based on a real face?

The Middle one is the face I used.

And then the final product. It is quicky, so there are a few mistakes.

This is another piece I have been experimenting with based on the same technique. Two photos and use the erase, opacity, clone, transform tools to combine the two photos you see below.

This is an original.

And this is the other.

Dodge and Burn

I thought I would present to you the example of Dodge and burn from a photo that I showed you previously. The way I achieved the precision around the glass was to select the glass area, burn it so it become dark and then select inverse and dodge the rest. I did the same with the second one, but here I left more shadow underneath the glass on the ground.

Photoshop Fun

Here are some samples of work I have done recently.

This is the first poster I made for the Womens Film Festival 2008.

This is a piece I did inspired by an article in the Huffington Post about switching babies heads with adults......I couldn't resist.....

And then there are the drawings I did a remake of.

This is the original drawing....

And this, the remake.....

Poster for the Jamaica Fiber Festival that uses drawings and photos of the buildings in the town.

Flea Market Rule of Thirds

I was trying to take the picture of the clouds and sun in the reflection of the table and then realized that I was placing the table in the center of the frame. I then took the time to move a bit up and farther away to get more in the shot.

I couldn't resist this one. They all look like they are on a mission.
