What are Specials?
“Specials” are pieces that involve photo manipulation. This is where we take elements of two or more images and “stitch” them together to create something new.
On the other hand, we can even take an existing photo and edit someone – or something – out. Admittedly, there are limitations, but not many.
In the image to the left, we took an existing photograph of a shadowy, spooky castle staircase (photo by Thomas Quine – Wiki commons). This became our basic background. Into this, we stitched in the ghostly, translucent figure of a young woman. The effect is that she is standing on the stairs exuding a misty, green glow, rising like smoke.
We have also created many others that may interest you, which can be seen here.
This particular piece was created as a piece of artwork. What’s to say that’s not right up your alley? Okay, maybe you don’t want to look like a spooky ghostly Goth-girl, but there are few limits.
Photo manipulation for fun
Photo manipulation could be used just for fun.
For instance, it could be as simple as placing someone in a different scene, by changing the background like the image to the right.
On the other hand, as can be seen in the examples, it could be completing a family or other group photo, where key people weren’t able to be there.In other cases, we have created pictures for people where a loved one, who has since passed away, has been added into a photo. Pets too have been placed in heavenly surroundings as a memorial to them.
Photo manipulation for the perfect wedding shot
There are always edits to wedding photos too of course. Weddings aren’t cheap and there’s no guarantee that the photographs will turn out as you’d hoped. Maybe we can help you put together the perfect group photo that couldn’t be taken at the wedding – for whatever reason!
We can help
There are too many reasons you may want photo manipulation done in this way and we can help you.
So, if you wanted that family photo, which has always been impossible to get because family members cannot all be together at the same time, we can help. Even if you want something fantastical, just message us (here), and we can take it from there!
