A PAINTER'S STORY

from a professional session...

one more..

The brushes in the first shot look photoshopped like crazy.

Cool concept and skilled PS. In the first one are the brushes meant to be in mid air - like thrown at the camera? Only as they are now they look not blurry enough to show motion, and not crisp enough to be still, if you see what I mean. Also, because the painter is in black and the whole scene is dark, I feel he's a bit lost with the brushes creating a further distraction from him.

The second & third ones - the window and the stuff in the room looks really interesting but it's quite hard to see. With a bit more light we'd be able to see more of the scene. What's he doing in the third shot?

This is a shot I took a while ago for a future possible business card. I am a tattoo artist who paints and does photography as a hobbie. So I tried to get it all together. Minus my machines because they were at work.

Anyway I just thought I would share since it goes with your theme

second shot looks great. first shot - those brushes aren't clear enough. maybe put some more depth in them? great concept though!

I think they're clear enough... But the light sources are confrontational. They should all have the same light source and they need their contrast turned down. Or else it kind of looks like a hack job.

I don't really like the paintbrushes concept. I think 2 and 3 are great but 1 is showing a bit too much haloing from the processing treatment.

the first makes my eyes hurt

thank you all fro you thoughts and your opinion..i find you words truthfull but i have one observation.maybe its because of the small size of the image here but in the original one it appears that the brushes are moving and the only in focus sharp object is the humans face..instead all that thanks a lot..!! any other thoughts..??
