Photoshop practice

Little bit of photoshop practice.

The Old Masters

Lighting has always fascinated me, especially lighting in the works of dutch old master painters such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. I have recently bought a set of flash heads so I can expand my own knowledge of how to light a scene. The image above is a photograph I took trying to get the style of Rembrandt. The image had some re-touching in post-production to make it look as authentic as possible. I feel the image is successful and the portrait works well.
The reason for these tests is a project that I'm going to  be undertaking in the new year. Watch this space for more details and tests on the upcoming project.

Enjoy.

Thimbles

This mini series looks at thimbles. I have chosen these out of a selection of 170 I photographed because of the detail and interesting artworks produced on the outer shell of the thimbles.
