Emotions Project
The assignment was to capture a state of emotion, and Ciara suggested I use her fan-girling expression. I did, and the results were pretty great. Then, because why on earth not, I decided to edit her photo into the traditional style of a tumblr valentine (with her permission of course). She would just like to inform you all that this is not her normal face, it usually looks better.
Retouching
A before and after example of trying out retouching. In this image, skin was cleared (blemishes and under her eyes), eye liner and lip colour were added, and her eyebrows were blurred slightly. It's really crazy what you can do to faces..
Liquify
Liquify is a tool commonly used in magazines, to slim down the figures of models, adjust boob size, etc. In this case, I used it to improve this man's posture, making him seem more self assured (and also increasing shoulder size, because why not..). The body turned out.. okay, but... we're not going to talk about his face, okay? Just.. no. I destroyed it beyond repair. I'm so sorry.
