Hello. 25th February brings us number fifty-six in the mega big mega series of 365 images, one a day, everyday for a whole year. I’ve done this for nearly two months. Only ten and a bit to go. I can do it. I know I can…

This weeks theme has been textured portraits and this is the penultimate in this mini series in a series type thingy. This is the ever patient Autumn, my loving and beautiful wife who agreed to pose for this shot, taken tonight at around 9 o’clock.

The main image was given the ever faithful levels adjustment, high pass filter layer and black and white conversion and then placed onto a texture layer, erased in places to blend it in and duplicated and both layers were blended with hardlight. Some dodging and burning finished it off.

Canon EOS 20D / Canon USM 28mm-105mm lens.

I’ve been taking photographs since 1997 and I still love it. After a brief dislike of photomanipulation I now use Photoshop extensively on a majority of my work. People are my favourite subject and I’m always on the look out for new models, so drop me a line if you’re interested! :)
