Blessing

Finally did the color version of this image and it turned out to be very intense. The calmness of the atmosphere is disturbed by the background that surrounds the characters. The red gives the image an ominous feeling and is meant to convey that there is not something right with the situation. I tried to portray the glow from the characters as a type of fire and leave it to the viewer to decide if this is the flame of God or if its something less then holy.

My Wife

Wanted to experiment further with colors and backgrounds. Used a picture of my wife that I took a while back and blended in some recent cloud photos that I took. I'm really happy with the results and look forward to a photo shoot I will be having later this month so I can continue to experiment.

Did a portrait of my friend from the last photo shoot I had. Played around with the color for a while and gave him 3 versions so he could decide which one he liked the best. My favorite is the one with the red shirt, however I do like them all lined up together too. Might work better in this format if I color the first one as well and let the colors contrast and complement each other in the different versions of the photos.
