Abigail

Here are a couple shots of Abigail. She has such a unique beauty. I wanted to show her beauty inside and out and that is why I have the two different poses. Showing both serious and playful sides of her personality.

In the before and after shot one can see the main work I did here to adjust the contrast, add emphasis to the eyes, and retouch the skin to give her an even overall surface. Click on the Before and After image to see a close up.

Ophelia

This is my take on Shakespeare's Ophelia. She is a moving and haunting figure and I wanted to create something equality haunting in my imagery. The Small picture is the before and after pictures (you can click on the picture to see the detail). In the final image I took out most the color of her skin (to portray a lifeless look) and I took out distracting details so the viewer can focus on the figure and her story. Photo by Emily Jeanne

"[She] Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide;

And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:

Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;

As one incapable of her own distress,

Or like a creature native and indued

Unto that element: but long it could not be

Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,

Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay

To muddy death".

- Shakespeare

J. Andrew Livingston

These pictures are work that I did for a musican for his press photo and CD cover. The photoshopped CD cover used about 11 different layers giving it a Hockney type effect. This was a fun collaboration and a great opportunity to do something different.


This is an animated gif showing a glimpse of my layering process.

Decomposition of All Things

These images are a series of photos that I did relating to the idea of decomposition. In our lives people come in and out. Our old friends and selves change and fall away. Memories fade and we are left with small snatches of the past slowly decomposing.These illustrations were created using multiple layers of photoshop. Using Holga, Polariod, and digital photographic images. and blended together to create the feeling of decomposing memories.

High Fashion Hair Shots

Here are some shots that I did the post-production and retouching work. It was a good challenge to do high end beauty retouching. Since the focus of the images was the hair, It was my job to manipulate and remove distracting details and ultimately create the 'ideal' and 'flawless' woman.

The main work I did on these consisted of smoothing out the skin of imperfections, taking away bags and wrinkles, cleaning up flyaway hairs, transforming the bodies and faces slightly, and adding contrast and color to the eyes.
