What makes an image a photo or a manip? Well, I've done some asking around of professional retouchers (and of... http://emarts.gfxartist.com/blog/103725 emarts Photo Manipulation / Uncategorized A very badly exposed image and about 30 minutes coaxing the image out in Photoshop. The image was shot in Camera RAW so a lot of the detail was salvageable. Although all I really did was adjust the exposure, I decided to place it in photomainip since it's really quite different from the... http://emarts.gfxartist.com/artworks/136793 emarts Photography / Vehicle http://emarts.gfxartist.com/artworks/131160 emarts Photography / Vehicle She's a beauty. http://emarts.gfxartist.com/artworks/130847 emarts Photography / Vehicle I present you with the Lamborghini Murcielago.

So yes, technically it's a... http://emarts.gfxartist.com/artworks/129593 emarts Photography / Figure I'm doing a little experitmenting with style. I wanted to bring out the textures in this image.

Tell me what you think. http://emarts.gfxartist.com/artworks/129523 emarts Photography / Figure An intimate moment. It's been a long time since I've uploaded anything.

Brought to you by... http://emarts.gfxartist.com/artworks/129353 emarts Photo Manipulation / Composite Well waiting around for the perfect moment just doesn't happen in a very crowded Aquarium.

The lighting in this location was not as good, so I had a hard time getting a decnt exposure. So I mixed a couple of shots together to get this one.
