I had an interesting phone call recently, a very professional gentleman was asking if I could take some new portrait photos of himself to use on his website. He mentioned that he had had the photos taken before by another photographer but that he looked rather 'haggard' in those, so I must admit I went online to have a quick look. And the photo of
Now this studio photo shoot was a bit out there, even by my standards, but when Jess (and old friend) contacted me to ask if I could help her to create a brand image for herself as a singer, I knew immediately that this was going to be something exciting to work on.

It's week eight of our 52 week photo challenge, and this month we've been playing with photoshop, and I had planned to be editing a whole bunch of studio photos for this effect originally, but the photoshoot was called off due to poor weather (snow!), so last night Stacey and I decided to have a go at making the whole world seem as if there

We're used to seeing images and text together, usually the text is helping to define or complement the photo in some way. So I decided to use a photoshop technique know as textualising on an image.
