Photography enhancement (or distortion)

May 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Time flashes by since my last blog post … it was a highly busy and stressful month. Nevertheless it is still my commitment to update this once in a while … whenever I can steal some time.

Anyway, in my photography class last Friday … we were thought about some of the stuff that we can do in Photoshop that is important for photographers. It was a funny session as we did really funny stuff on the model’s face. Well basic stuff like color adjustment, dirt removal, skin tone evening etc … This reminds me of a very interesting Dove advertisement by Oglvy and Mather …

It really amazes me how wonderful photo editing software can do to enhance (or distort) the perception of a given scene / object. It is not always possible to take pictures in the best condition hence a little ‘help’ goes a long way. Let’s just say it’s also a skill that you need to pick up if you are a photographer.

 For the worst …

For the ‘weighty’ || Losing weight in ‘Photoshop’

Enhancing ‘beauty’
