One Minute Makeover

Digitally manipulating an image really gives me total control, and of course, with that comes a big responsibility to get things right. For this video, I wanted to show the process that happens between the transformation of one intentionally unflattering photo into a professional appearing shot.

Below is a project that I’ve wanted to work on for a long time. I wanted to take an unflattering snapshot and take on the challenge of creating an interesting portrait. I had to beg my sister to participate. She was not keen on the idea of having her photo taken without makeup, or prep time. I simply wanted the photo as she was.

I wanted all preparations to be possible using only Photoshop. I sat down, and made it work. Try and see what major and subtle differences you can pickup. It will be quite obvious.
