Before and After - Jel




Tutorials to follow, I just want everyone to see why I'm loving my photoshop right now ~_~
I really don't know how I got to this, I used mainly the dodge and burn tool but I'm pretty much sure I did something with the hightlight/shadow button.

I'll update this as soon as I can.
Good night everyone!!

UPDATE
My second time to do non-self portrait.
I used one light behind Jel.
Light behind, slightly lower than the head.


Messing with the light.



Not my kind of editing. As much as possible I stay away from pictures that need a lot of "anime" editing.
I love surreal but not like this. It took me a couple of days to figure out how to to create the lighting effect.

Anyway, I envy photos taken with lenses with wide apertures. For me, DOF adds an extra "boom" in a portrait. I spent 30 minutes today browsing ebay for prices of 50mm 1.2 and 1.4 and said to myself, "I'm gonna getcha, baby!"

For the meantime, I'm gonna keep my photos sharp as much as possible, because I know dof and bokeh effects are far from reality at this point.

Happy reading to my fellow reviewers!
