AKS: How To Turn Snapshots Into Portraits

Posted by: editor on January 24, 2012

Recently some of our blogging clients have needed a little quick photoshop on photos for business purposes. Quite properly, they needed a type of photo we call an “executive” shot for their web site. So they sent us a quick snapshot, shown at left, and we worked a little magic in a few quick steps:

1.  Change background

2.   Add some strategic light and shadow. Remove harsh flash shadow.

3.   Adjust the color.

4.   Accent the client’s best features.

5.  Soften, darken or lighten the edges with a little “airbrush” technique.

6.  Enjoy the magic of a little art plus a little technology.  For more amazing transformations of client’s images as well as Angel Kissed work, take a look at our sister site!
