So I spent the entire day (and I mean from early morning till now) researching different photoshop techniques online. At one point I contemplated buying Joey Lawerence’s editing tutorial but the realized I can learn pretty much everything I need to know in a game of scavenger hunt and following the links on the internet, and then just playing around with the tools in PS CS3.
Here are the final products of what I’ve learned. I’ve included the original photos for your viewing pleasure. When I have more time I will post step by step how I got to the final images in Photoshop.
I took these of my brother Nate for his senior photos. We went out yesterday (Sunday) and shot in the pearl district of Portland. The weather was phenomenal once again.
Anyways, here’s the photos:
