Description

A good friend of mine asked me to take some pictures for his web site. He wanted something with a signed playing card and him. I first took a shot of this playing card with a close up box... then I took a portrait of him. I do not have a studio, nor lighting kits..this was a flash photo in our conference room at work. So I did the rest of the 'Magic' in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. He is a happy customer. I wanted to share it with you all. I would of been happier if I could of lit him better, but I am happy with the rest of it. I am going to upload one more that I did as well.

These are both very cool shots! I don't know much about shooting portraits, but you seem to have captured a good mood here. Nice work!

It is a pretty good portrait, very creative with a card.

Considering you have no 'Lights', you have done a great job with the flash. The post work is also well done. Both shots are excellent! It's no surprise that he's happy with this work.
