I went in with my friend, a few weeks before we tentatively scheduled a day and did a photo shoot impromptu-ly. In an hour and a half or so we uploaded 64 pictures to the new imacs we have.
From there I am stuck with this picture.
I took some others from that day to use for a project and used photoshop on em and came up with some great results (in my opinion). I am stuck with this one, mostly cause shes stunning. Is there anything you would do?
Give me any opinion on how to make it better, how to alter it, what to apply to it and I'll take any feed back.
Anywhere from colouring back grounds, lip alterations, blemishes, skin softening, eye makeup, hair colouring/moving, liquefying, overall brightness/contrast, levels/curves, getting rid of what might be distracting wrinkles on her back, riding her hair on top that could be messy, cropping, vignetting, or matting. Anything. I would like to read any ideas, constructive criticism, and tips to make this better, or different. She wants to use one of my pictures for "school photos" for her family, and this would be the best out of the rest.
Also, if there are things I cannot do or apply to this picture, please let me know so I can keep in mind for a future shoot her and I are planning.
What props work best. or what the best and most information filled source of text I can read from. for the serious photographer.
Here is the original photograph I took. Please be respectful.
Thanks in advance,
Dayto.
P.S. I will be using Photoshop CS4 (and I could learn other Adobe programs in the CS4 suite).
