Since Vintage effects seem to be “in” right now, I thought I’d try my hand a my own vintage effect. I lowered saturation and vibrance, and put a sepia toned filter over the top. I also used radial gradients to create a light center and dark edges. Lastly, a gaussian blur and history brush helped create the dramatic difference between the clear and blurred parts of the image 🙂 And there are my vintage dried flowers 🙂
In this project, we were to pick an object or location, about which we were to shoot twelve diverse pictures to show a sense of style.
I just wanted to show some of my process and how I work. Here are some before and after editing pictures I have done 🙂
This project was to create an interesting fine art picture with an interesting use of light. 
This series of pictures is of girls who are my friends and family who I had all sorts of fun painting their faces and doing their makeup in a way that I thought made them look even more beautiful than I think they already are. These are also early attempts to recreate fashion photography I like.Â
This is my own personal photo memorial to my dear friend Katie Cramer who lost her fight with cancer just over a year ago. She loved the beach and for me the ribbon represents the memories I have of her there at the beach where she loved, and was interestingly enough frightened of the actual water. This project is very personal and close to my heart. I miss you and love you Katie dear 🙂
