Love, love, love the hand painted background. Super cool and simple idea. Doing this background digitally would have killed the look. Keep doing these. Photoshop can be so overrated if you're not an absolute expert with it. Stick to the basics. Classic through-the-lens editing is sadly slowly becoming a lost art. You being in SoCal should appreciate the classic, hard lighting, Hollywood movie star portraits. Photoshop has its place but don't kill your work with it. I have a book that every budding photographer should have that I refer to often.
Hollywood Portraits - Classic shots and how to take them - by Roger Hicks and Christopher Nisperos (Amphoto Books) ISBN: 0-8174-4020-8
I highly recommend it.
Keep up the great work. |
