    Work Day

    I shot this with overhead lighting using an LCD on a C-stand.
    I shot this scene with the light in slightly different areas and then adjusted the different lighting effects in Photoshop layers. Basicly I didn’t want the inside of the jacket to be light under the hat and yet I wanted the socks and shoes to stand out. Before starting on the creative aspects, I usually and as I did in this case isolated the image using Topaz Mask AI. From that point on I can explore different creative platforms such as Nik and Topaz Impressions and then choose what I want using different masks and layers in Photoshop. I had been composing this composition mentally for a couple of weeks and finally built up enough creative steam to begin the project.

    I really have to say is. . . it seems to be a full time job follwing the old man around with my camera. So far he doesn’t charge for modeling. :)

    The old man is dressed warmly and complaining about the heat in the studio. His coat is rated for probably -40 below. I like creative captions as much perhaps as photograpy and post processing itself. I shot tethered to my laptop and used Topaz Inpressions, some of my own textures, a little Nik, and of course Photshop, to end up with this final look.

    OLD MILL FALLS

    I photographed this wonderful image of what used to be an old mill years ago. My objective in developing this art print was to convey the emotion of being in the presence of such a spectacular scene. One can only try.

    Hands Of The Sculptor

    I used many software programs for this project and various textures. The one most useful in arriving at the desired result was Topaz Impressions. A wonderful filter that has seemingly countless variables if you so choose.
