The Challenge
Outside of the box again.
But here’s why I wanted to share this photo:
When I first started doing photography, the photographer for my magazines told me that with proper cropping and/or creative post processing, almost any image was salvageable. So, after taking a very conservative self portrait modeling this coat/jacket (it had to fit certain guidelines for an article), I decided to challenge myself. I’d take the same pedestrian image (it looks like it’s from a Sears or JC Penny catalog), and see how artistic I could make it.
This is the result after flipping, cropping, increasing exposure, using sepia tones and adding texture. I had a lot of fun with it.
I don't think Sears will be calling anytime soon for this one.
Note: This long coat/jacket is an “altered” and embellished dress that was submitted by an artist to our magazine, Altered Couture. My Director of Publishing bought it as a surprise birthday gift for me when she found out that I was “coveting” it.
