Ballerina Girl: Before & After Retouching

This is a photo of my good friend’s daughter dressed in her ballerina outfit. The girl came out great in the photo, but unfortunately it was shot in a public restroom. To make this image more appealing, I silhouetted (or cut-out) the girl in Adobe Photoshop, then added some diffuse glow and a slight drop shadow, as well as a white background.

World War II Ship: U.S.S. Device – Before & After

This is a photo restoration project I recently did for a client from Orangeburg, New York (Rockland County). His Father served on this ship during World War II, so he wanted it restored before it deteriorated any more. I got rid of the tears, rips and holes, added a new textured background and formatted it as a 16×20″ print, ready for framing.
