Leah

Model Portrait (before & after)

I attended a photography workshop recently and got the opportunity take some portraits. Here is one of the few shots I liked…

So here’s a list of what I did (in no particular order)

- Made the background white

-Turned up the saturation in her shirt

-Removed Blemishes/ Softened her face

- Brightened her eyes as well as making them a little more green

- Sharpened her eyes because the photo wasn’t “tack sharp”

- Made the lips a little bigger and little more red

I think that’s it. Did I go too far and is her face too soft?

My Favorite Model

Well I’m back from my trip to Clarion. I snapped quite a few shoots of my niece (It was her 1st birthday). She is growing up fast and getting pretty good at posing for me. Check back soon as I should have a picture from her party up on the site (if I can ever figure out some of the new features in Photoshop CS4).

Danie Portrait

A decent portrait of a beautiful subject shot at 100mm, f/5.6, 1/60 at ISO 400 with flash.

For post processing I did the usual stuff and then I used an advanced skin softening technique i just learned (thanks to Scott Kelby and all his amazing books) and I also added some highlights in her hair.
