Nathan's photos
Aug. 11th, 2008 06:42 pmI have now downloaded Nathan's photos from the July 26th shoot and have started playing around with photoshop.
I gotta say, once you have the tiniest clue as to what you are doing, touch up with photoshop is fun! I'm not doing any radical body morphing or anything, no fears that I am going to re-shape my tummy and accidentally remove my navel, just little tweeks to how an accessory hangs to bump up composition or addressing those things about a photo that barely register when someone else views it but seem like HUGE issues to the subject (nearly non-existent crows-feet, lightening under-eye bags, tucking in costumes bits and the slightest hint of muffintops) so that I look like the me that my over-pick self can publish, and I still look like the me that other people know.

I showed you guys this one as soon as I got it. If things go well, in each photoshoot there should be a shot where you can say "Yup, it was worth the hassle for just this one shot!" and in Nathan's set, this is it!.
