Getting good headshots of the cast has proven to be a bit more difficult that expected. That’s only because my studio light/flashes are in storage and I currently do not have access to it. Nonetheless, Wednesday last week I went for the second session for headshots. I decided to re-do everyone, not just take the […]
View ArticleLast Sunday I went to Williamstown Little Theatre to take the first headshot photos of the cast of their new production Continental Quilt. I say first headshots because not everyone was there on the day… and the photos didn’t really turn out that great and I may need to go again tomorrow. I am currently […]

This is something I still struggle with, mostly because I haven’t done a lot of them yet: removing the texture provided by the paper the photo was printed on. I’ve seen a few tutorials in the internet about how to remove the texture, but most of them are focused on black and white photos and […]
View ArticleI have done my best within the timeframes to give the website an uplift in the layout. I like this layout despite having minor issues with it. Overall, I’m happy with the result. There are a few tweaks I will continue doing to get it looking better so that it will look even more professional […]
View ArticleThe second part of the process is removing dust and scratches from the photos. To remove the dust and scratches digitally, I use Photoshop. By default, the scanner software opens the TIFF photo in Photoshop. At this part of the workflow, I use Photoshop to rotate and crop only, I don’t do any dust cleaning […]

I’ve been meaning to update the site layout/look and feel. I’ve been putting this off for a while and decided that it’s time to bite the bullet and do it. For this reason, the site may be unavailable, i.e. with a coming soon type of page, for most of the week. I already have the […]
