The Aged Face


Here you can see briefly the process of creating this projecct. I found the photo of the homeless man from a source of free stock photos. I then arranged my model to sit and dress like the elderly man then I used tools in Photoshop to take pieces of the elderly man's face and place them on my model's face. I lastly added the cracks in the photo as an overlay. Note that one hand is young and the other is old. Also the highlight on the cheek bone of the elderly side makes the face look less full.

Latest Work in Photoshop

Here's the latest project. We needed to turn a photo from today into an antique. This was created in Photoshop using channels and adjustment layers and my very favorite... blending modes. Here is my favorite assignment so far. This is a warhol-inspired portrait of Geordie. We were asked to do a portrait of a human but being inspired by Warhol, who loved his dogs, I thought it was appropriate to do a portrait of the little love of my life, Geordie! This was also created in Photoshop and the photo of Geordie is white. Each layer is a different blending mode. This really shows the different effect of each mode. I used a smart blur for the outline.
