photos to inspire

Although this photo was taken quite some time ago, and taken using a point and shoot in poor lighting with lots of noise, it is still one of my favourites because the subject has such a great smile. Because of the poor state of the original I wasn’t able to do as much processing as I would have liked, but I did run it through Noise Ninja to reduce the effect of the noise. I also used Photoshop to tone down the background (de-saturating and blurring) to help the photo pop. More people shots on my flickr here.
