Variations on a Theme

Sometimes a model has one outstanding bodypart. Damon has a chest like a iron roman breast plate, so most of the best work from this shoot features his chest and parts of his shoulders and arms.
Extra points to the reader who can read the tattoo that runs the length of his left bicep. It spells his last name.
A clue: at first I thought it spelled the name of the county in California that he came from, but word is one or two letters different.

Toned

I have been experimenting more and more with creating black and white images from my color digital files and then using Photoshop to add warm or cool tones to the images.
This is another example of that technique. This is a bronze tone applied in Photoshop.

Twins

The images this week are composites created with Photoshop. Regular readers of my blog will recognize them as part of the ongoing series of photos shot in the French Doors at the back of my house. These particular shots are from a photo session yesterday with a model named Damon.
I turned Damon into twins by opening two of the photos in Photoshop, dragging one photo on top of the other to create a layer over the first, then masking part of the top layer to expose the image of Damon on the bottom layer. In order to make it easy to match the two photos, the entire doorway photo session was shot with a tripod to keep the camera in exactly the same position relative to the doorway. All the
camera settings (aperature, shutter speed,
white balance and focus) were kept the same from shot to shot. Damon was clued in to the plan so that he stayed on one side of the doorway or the other and occasionally gave me shots where he appeared to look to the side at his other self.

Bronze

I think the tone suits the low key mode of the photograph.
