Fix-it-Friday

I recently had a client ask me "I mean, how much do you really have to edit?". I was laughing inside. I said well we don't HAVE to edit as much as we do...

So I'm on Twitter, again, and I found a fun company called "I Heart Faces". They do a little thing called "Fix it Friday" and I joined in on the fun today! The idea is to take the photo they've uploaded (I did not take this photo - they supply it), and everyone edits to their fancy and posts it on their blog. So here is my version!



To those from the iheartfaces blog viewing - I used PS CS4 for basic lighting/color adjusments. Next a Kubota filter called blue dawn. Textures from ShadowHouse Creations.

Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Senior Picture & Photo Texture FUN

I've been all over Twitter lately. In just a few weeks I've found some super creative people who have inspired me with their tweets! That latest comes from my new friends at http://openscrapbook.com/. They tweeted about some free photo textures if you signed up for their mailer - OK! So here is my very first experiment with photo textures. Thanks to my best friend Kerrie for letting me use her "senior picture". She's graduating from college this year so it counts :)





I see this turning into a new hobby...

This was also probably only my second time lighting a portrait with a solo off camera speedlite. I'm going to attend a Boston conference in June completely dedicated to speedliting so if any of my photog friends want to join - give me a yell! :)
