Week 2 Catch Up - Illustrate A Song

Week 2 has such a wonderful theme! I had a lot of songs in mind..."Like a Rolling Stone" by Dylan ..."Romeo & Juliet" by Dire Straits... and a few others were on my list. However, I was listening to the radio in the car and an oldies came on by Boyz II Men..."It's So Hard To Say Goodbye"...and I knew this was the song I wanted to do....

I thought about old pictures scattered on the floor showing memories of my mother and my family...that was the concept. I was sort of in a rush so I came up with a photo and edited it to focus mainly on the picture of my mom....

"How do I say goodbye to what we had? 

The good times that made us laugh 
Outweigh the bad. 



I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away 
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. ......"



While editing, I realized that the photo also works with another oldies song "The Way We Were" by Barbara Streisand....
"Mem'ries, 

Light the corners of my mind 
Misty water-colored memories 
Of the way we were 
Scattered pictures, 
Of the smiles we left behind 
Smiles we gave to one another 
For the way we were ...."

Retouching Work

I've been kind away from this blog and actually photography in general. A lot of things have been going on but I've decided to start it all back again. I am working on a fresh new website for my portraits and in the process of setting up another one for retouching work. I've re-worked a few of my photos for the retouching websites... Original - And here is the after - I also wanted to take that branch out on the left hand side because it was quite distracting. So here it is without the branch. I also added a color enhancement on it to make the colors pop a bit more. Here is the second edit I worked on today. Original - I adjusted tones and contrast a bit. Then worked on the skin. Here is the result for that. I wanted to soften the lines under the eyes a little without completing removing it which would make it look too unnatural. Finally, i wanted his eyes to really pop. So here is the final image with an eye enhanceme...
