Edgy guitar

This was a fun project for a winter’s night. To create this effect I lit the guitar with a halogen on one side only and then pushed the contrast on the resulting image, applied the “find edges” filter and then super-saturated the result. Cloned out anything that seemed irrelevant–and voila!–a colorful tribute to my Takemine.

Gearing up

We needed a winter-themed home page image for a recent site refresh. However, none of the images on hand worked for the space/time-frame. So, I used two separate model shots and composited them onto the background, taking care to adjust color and lighting as well for a cohesive look.

Dress Up

A logo and catalog produced for Princess Cornflower Frocks and Such – a friend’s vintage-inspired, organic clothing line. We had so much fun putting this project together! Below, the cover, and a few sample pages.

Digital plastic surgery

This was a true test of my image editing skills! I was asked to “freshen up” these doctors faces and minimize the discrepancies in their heights so that they could be used on a billboard. This involved believably enlarging the woman in the middle, whitening and fixing teeth, taking bags out from under eyes and adding that sun-kissed glow to all (They were only used as head and shoulders shots so I did not need to bother with the tie). As a final touch, we “popped” them off the background with a color-wash. I wish that I had the exact original of this photo, but I only have a very close one from the original series. I’ll have to ask you to please use your imagination a bit when comparing these two images.
