Digital Enhancement Examples

    My digital experience allows me to not only correct imperfections or bad reflections, but complete cyber-airbrushing after the shoot. I can reduce or eliminate bags under eyes, bags under chins, I can take inches off waists and fill in hair. I did not want to illustrate that type of thing on this public web site because the "before" shots could embarrass the models involved. Let me know if you are interested in that for your project and would like to see examples.

    Even where corrective airbrushing may not be warranted, digital manipulation can enhance a shot, such as the first example below, which benefited from a number of background city images, rendered with a different color saturation than the model's, and with selective blurring not available through traditional photography only.

If you had a photo like this, but wanted it to look much better, such as for a magazine, you could pay for a re-shoot, get the car, move it to a studio, rent a studio large enough for a car, etc. Or you could let me do this --->

Digital manipulation lets me create a group image which would previously have been difficult or impossible. This next example, a work still in progress, includes 15 separate images of smaller groups and individuals located in several states. Their photos were taken in a dull, gray, office room with metal folding chairs and then later placed in a better environment with better furniture added (and still being added!) as certain other individuals are added or removed later.

Ever wanted the thrill of riding a super bike in traffic, without really risking life or limb (or your husband's motorcycle?)...

 

After
 


The background here was made from several separate shots of traffic, buildings, and roadway. It resulted in a great 11x14 birthday present for him! (Click on the image for a larger version)


Not only was the color saturation of the background reduced in this example, but the image in the rear view mirror was carefully taken from another image (his eyes did not really line up from this angle) and the brake lights were "turned off" so it would more easily appear to be moving.
