Sometimes screen size makes a difference

When proofing photos online, sometimes from a client's perspective, if the image is sized too large they are overwhelmed when they see their face so huge in front of them. So by simply reducing the image dimensions and size a bit, without changing anything about the image, it becomes more pleasing on their eye.

See a small tweek to the photo layout yesterday, the client says, oh that's much better now, no changes to image at all, just the preview size!

Photo Shoot on Location

T

Today I was out on location in Hopkins, MN shooting a portrait of an award-winning bead artist, Tammi Pederson. This post shows (in color) original shot and below the edited version that includes: conversion to black and white, duotone, facial touch-up, teeth whitening general clean up in the facial area. I also added the soft edges and drop shadow with whimsical light graphics in an antiqued but fresh design. I believe I have given her a softer, more youthful look.
