People
Although many of my photographs are of architecture and local scenery, I enjoy working with people and portraits.
I also do retouching and at the bottom of the page you can see some examples of digital restoration.


Below is a portrait that was softened and retouched a little.

I find its best to ask children a question or give them an activity and then capture the moment.

To the left is a publicity portrait of me (and Mimi the beagle), taken by Jodi Gigante. She stood on a chair to get all of the art on the table in view, and took about thirty shots. I added the framed picture behind me afterwards in Photoshop rather than have a blank wall.


I used filters on this series of photos to enhance the dark look I was seeking.

Below is an old family photo that needed some restoration - before and after.
