Look Ma! No Photoshop!


Interpret the photo whichever way you want. Be it the inspection of oneself, the feeling of being watched or that only you can decide who you are no one else... I just take the photos. This photo was taken as-is. No major photoshopping techniques - only cropping, turning it into black and white then sharpening was used. The photo was taken with just a handheld flash and an SLR. Have a look at the larger version.

I've been getting comments that my self portrait with the superman shirt looks photoshopped. Well, let me tell you: the shirt is real. I used two layers - One black and white as the top layer in photoshop and the second layer colour. I used an eraser to erase a portion to reveal the Superman colours.
