This isn't my best, but it's not bad, and it's fairly recent.

The fan I was using is so powerful it would have ripped my seamless to shreads.

I've been experimenting with 'minimalism' lately:  18+

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 9e50a1.jpg

I used "Find Edges" and cleaned up the debris that the filter produces, then replaced color to get the coloration changes.

To represent a concept with even less context, I again used "Find Edges" and kept going with the cleanup until I had a single line.  I found that I had to thicken the line to have it show up clearly - I did that by reproducing the image with a lateral offset and then collapsed the layers into one.

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 8a749d.jpg

I was a little surprised to find that the image kind of "disappeared" when printed, I got around that by using the black image border.

Hi everyone,

Great work smile

Well, this is probably not my best retouch, but it was definitely one of the trickiest ones skin wise.
I did not replace any skin here, it's basically all just d&b.

Let's see - he was only half painted white, the make up was streaky, and the eyes were obviously done, the background removed completely, his stubble removed from his head, and his head re-shaped to look normal (my brother has a funny shaped head). I'm especially proud of the brush strokes on the bottom part since that part had been unpainted.

Being a relative newcomer, I have come to realize that in order to take an image to the next level, some sort of retouching is necessary (in most cases).  Even in the days of film, photographers were in the darkroom, dodging, burning and doing other things to enhance their photos.  My wife got me CS5 for Christmas and I am really making a concentrated effort to learn this program as well as picking up retouching tips here and there and experimenting with them.  For the image below, I used a technique that I learned from Christy at www.christyschuler.com as well as another from Dean at www.proglamour.com.  I'm pretty excited as I can see my images getting better and better as I become more proficient in photoshop.

This was one of my favorite shoots. I made the frame work to make it rain. She was a pro model as well. Tap water temperature in sixty degree weather. She isn't as wet yet in this photo, but she gets soaked and even changed her outfit once.
