This is the second photo that I’ve “painted” with additional colours and graphics. The first one was from a photoshoot with Erica last July.
Yesterday’s photoshoot with Samantha produced this wonderful photo with her standing against a tree, lit up against the dark background. There are great examples of designers creating such images for their portfolios or advertising, and while it’s easy enough to learn the techniques, it’s not easy picturing what result you want to achieve, so I tend to build up layers and colours as I go along, and at some point decide when I think it’s finished.
