So I was attempting to make my own Presets in LR2, in doing so I ended up getting what I thought to be a neat look on one of my 5 year old sons photos in his jammies & pulled it into CS2 to play with it even more.

In the end, I really like what I ended up with...

my husband just thinks its creepy :rolleyes:

ahh well.  :p

So I wanted to share my efforts. ;)

I don't really care for the results. He looks really scary and for kids i think it doesn't look to good.


Not a pro by any means.. Just enjoy taking pics.

I see what you are saying.

for a horror film lovin mommy & a kid that was born on halloween ;) its fitting. my son 'in the photo' thought it was cool.

Clearly its not something I'd do to anyone elses childs photo. ;)

I will certainly be revisiting the effect however with an older subject, it was simply a photo where I ended up 'creating something' & liked what I came up with in the end.

I think it works because of his Hulk (?) shirt and it gives it a kind of comic book look overall! :-P Being born on halloween, you have to have a picture like this! ;-)a

If you was out to create a scary kid, you succeeded, but i wouldn't want my kid portraying that kind of image.

I'm 100% with you on this. Some people only want their kids to look their best....but that's what you can do with a P&S! I say GO FOR IT! Get creative. Go wild with all sorts of lighting and PP effects.

BUT

[You knew there'd be a "but" didn't you!]

Bare in mind that children are HIGHLY influenced in their cognitive and self-perceptual development by their environment....so please reinforce that these images are "just for fun, but you're not actually a scary horror creature from a Stephen King movie".

Great-looking son btw!

I appreciate your but ;) I appreciate your insight on this topic. My kids have a healthy self esteem and excellent confidence & open mindedness. Fantastic traits that I hope they continue to carry with them.

You're welcome Lore....it's just my background in Child Psychology talking, so, no worries! Always happy to encourage healthy "anything" in kids as clearly wonderful as your son!
:D
