The power of editing

In today's world of digital technology, the door is wide open for all creative and computer savy photographers. Before, in celuloid times, a photographer's creativity was limited to the physical realities of the photoshoot, setting gel filters, adjusting lights, positioning backdrops etc. Once the picture was taken, there was very little else to do, except maybe some croping, enlarging or limited color corecting in the lab.
Today, an eye for good composition and proper exposure settings are still an esence of photography, but the creativity does not have to stop where the art once did.. In fact, the creative options are almost endless. With digital picture formats, powerful editing software, and a lot of time on hand, the creative process can keep going on.

The following examples illustrate how photos from the past, and present, can be digitally transformed and restored into modern or completley different keepsakes. These photographs demonstrate the diverse abilities of combining human artistry with graphic/ computer based programs.


From an old wedding picture, client wanted to extract and isolate her parents.		The background image was color corrected to match the color scheme and support the feel of an old picture. Shadows to add realism, higlights to add dimentioin, and an over all restoration process to "errase" traces of the textured photo paper on the orrigional were combined to acheive this new picture.

Client wanted to isolate her mother.		Color corrected, the missing parts of shirt and shoulder were hand painted. The entire picture was lightened with softer skin tones added to create a vibrance to the faded orrigional. Not only did the client get two new 8x10s of this picture, she also now has a high resolution negative on DVD for furture prints.
	Picture was taken at bride's home...		Background was created in 3D program, textured, lit and positioned to mach the camera's angle of view
	Procedural sky was created in painting program to use it as a backdrop for the window view		And finally everything was composited in one image, color corrected, added shadows and highlights. This image was printed on 18x24 inch canvas and framed in big wooden picture frame.


Client had two pictures she was not really happy with. On the first she has her eyes closed...	On the second picture, her dog was not cooperating...	This image is a blend of the previous two pictures
