Description

Self portrait
Taken 18th April 2009 with Canon EOS 400D, lens kit, tripod and remote
credit for the bird brushes goes to OBSIDIAN DAWN



Actually I needed to study this evening but I started post-processing this old self because I thought it wouldn't take long. Then idea over idea came to my head and I tried different things (i.g. I never used brushes before). In the end I was happy with the result but had to recognize I've worked with the small version not the original. I knew I would never do this again if not immediatly so I looked for the original and repeated the whole 2 hours post-processing.
But what can you do when creativity overflows you?


Steps of Post-Processing
desaturation, contrast & brightness in Digital Photo Professional
Photoshop CS4:
removing parts of original make-up & impurities with Healing Brush
burn tool on the hands to make them look dirty
sharpening hands
adding bird brushes
brightening skin
changing splay(?)

Love the flock of birds "tattoo" concept, the dirty hand examining makes it look like you're being bought as a slave.
