Agnes Scott College is located in Decatur, Georgia. This scene was photographed in June, 2004 around 5:00 PM. The rendering is a very soft interpretation using a technique that removes details without altering definition. Light and contrast are always important composition details.
 


This is another example of the use of the technique that removes details without altering definition. This image is tighter than the Agnes Scott College Image, as the client wanted more detail to remain. The foliage has received more "painterly" touches.

 


Thompson Grocery is located in Saluda, North Carolina. This scene was photographed one bright and sunny Sunday morning in the fall of 2000. This image uses all hand brushed effects and no filtration except for color balance. The kids in the picture were playing at the playground across the street and ran over to be in the picture.
 
This scene of the Old Woolworth Store in Anderson South Carolina was rendered in the style of Edward Hopper in order to get a warm nostalgic feeling.
 
A composite image is an alternative to "shadow boxing" the original keepsakes. Photographs, memorabilia and objects can all be scanned and then combined to tell a story. In this case, photographs, a blotter, ledger sheet, valves and stamps were combined to tell the story on the occasion of the 6oth anniversary of this business. By making some objects transparent, more information can be displayed.
 
Another application for compositing is for hobbies or vacations. This composite was made from photographs taken while this client was out for a spin. The "in the wind" photograph in the background is as the rider pictured it and not as the camera captured the houses and street signs in the subdivision. Also check out the effect applied to the speedometer.

Photograph Restoration
The photograph of this gentleman had been stored poorly and had the classic deterioration common in old photographs. The picture had been folded, stained, light-damaged and scratched. The image was also in black & white. The client wanted the damage "restored" and color added that was typical of hand tinting of the period. If you will roll-over the image with your cursor, you can see the original photograph.

As with all the examples, you may "click" to see a detailed image.
