New portraits of Vash








I did an exciting portrait session this week. Still editing away in PS on all the pictures but wanted to post a couple to get feedback and suggestions.

I have applied some newly learned PS skills to some of these and was curious to hear feedback.

The first one of Vash has basic saturation, color settings and sharpening, nothing too exciting. The facial tattoo was very interesting though.

The second one is used liquefy and clone/stamp tools to clean up some hair that was covering the face and looked strange. The cleaned up image is much more pleasing.

Third has basic color changes, liquefy to clean up some edges and a tight crop.

Let me know what you think!

A recent portrait of my friend Faith. I really like this pose, it suited her look and gave a pensive feel to the image. Tell me what you think about it. Constructive feedback is how we learn.

Getting started

I am a Second Life photographer and this is my SL blogsite. I will post images here that are also on my flickr site. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/imagecraftphotography/)

This will be a great place to discuss SL and RL photography, trends, techniques and just have fun!

Nate!
