Casablanca Coloured

I tried to make Ingrid’s makeup highlights match her lipstick colour. Also her earring reflects the deep sapphire i gave her eyes. Humphrey got himself a tanner skin tone and deep amber eyes. His hair is also a tad lighter than Ingrid’s. I darkened their eyebrows for contrast, dappled the hairlines and removed a huge swath of blown highlights from his jacket (the original was a high-key image).

Tell me what you think!

lazy afternoon

You know one of those days when you feel you just have to shoot something? I settled for some flowers in the field downstairs.

The longer I stared at it in PS, the more it called out to be worked into a faux-ad. The result? Very body shop-ish. I like.

Probably for a fragrance or something.

Come Out and Play

Ooh… the memories. I’ve got this on repeat right now.

Ain’t it cool how some songs sound kickass all over again after some time?

I attended a wake today

Teary faces around the tables - The joss sticks were green, the candles white. It was crowded… so crowded in fact that many just stood idly around. Expressions were blank. I met many I hadn’t seen in some time. They’d changed. We’d all changed. He was young and fit, with a first class degree and a promising career. 9 months into marriage. He collapsed in a swimming pool and drowned. A million miles from home, In China. Alone. The body didn’t look like him at all. Wtf. It started to rain. And in the gusting wind and rain, friends, acquaintances, colleagues - past and present - gathered for a final look, and one of life’s most important lessons.

Colouring Casablanca

Here’s a WIP shot of my latest undertaking: colouring a B&W pic I downloaded off good ol’ Google Images. Here I am almost done with Ingrid’s face… and starting work on Humphrey. I’m gving myself artistic license with eye and hair colour, because, eh… I’m too lazy to look it up.

Humphrey Bogart looks like he has some unfortunate skin disease because I’m in the middle of a skin-tone test.
