| High Key Self-Portrait Frenchtown, Montana |
One year I was asked to create a picture to send photography school graduates on their way. I wanted to wish them Good Luck, but the image I captured with the camera did not emphasize the good luck tokens I held in my hands. So I used Photoshop to convert the picture to black and white (removing the color distractions), brightened the whole image, added a strong white vignette (to disguise the busy background), and increased the contrast of the metal coins in my hands so they stood out from the rest of the photograph.
