Creative photography and photoshop tutorial one
Well here we are again, back at the Photon Writers blog and today we are changing thing up a little from the boring basics of photography. I felt you needed a break, and since we just had our first “Photo walk with Michael” which was a great success, I want to thank all the photographers who signed up and showed up for making such a fun day.
With out a doubt the day was fun, we had all different skill levels and camera types, the amateur photographer and the professional photographers all got along real well and everyone contributed to a special day of creative photography.
What we were shooting is the abandoned homesteads of the high desert, looking for environmental shots, and urban grunge textures and backgrounds to spice up a photo and add the word creative to the term creative photography..
This is a quick tutorial on how to use these shots to make a great shot even more interesting. I have included the photo of the girl with her eyes blocked out because she has signed a model release for me to use as promotional work for my Studio, but not for commercial work.
Please feel free to use these shots, but don’t Photoshop her eyes back in for the image I have included for you to use. The ideal outcome would be for you to use you own image and follow along. So you have an image that you can share, however this shot works very well for this tutorial and you can use it to achieve the same look.
There are a couple of things to keep in mind, you can access the images one of two ways, either way you need to use the contact form that is included on each page of my site or use the one on the blog page fill in the required information and in the comment section ask for the images to be e-mailed or request a guest pass to my Photo Bucket site and I will send you a guest pass for these textures and backgrounds, either way you need to e-mail me using the contacts form on my site.
