Be bold, try it. Do not think and ask yourself what others may say when they view your pictures. They is NOT made for them, but it is an expression from you, out of you. A way you felt in that moment. Thats why i show this to you. So be bold and strong.

Yes, i took an older portrait of the veiled seeress, smiling into my cam, seeing my future :) And today i decided to rework it into an analog style type of picture. Did she she that already when i took the picture ?

I don´t know, but enjoy…

While searching for the light, flagging it, steering it to where you want it to be, have a close look to the dark parts, to the shadows. Maybe you discover a gem… like me. So do not hesitate, take the chance and a picture as well. Put it together with what you already learned about composing, creating analog film look and give it a special look. That is all about it. OK, crop it if you need to do so but never change the mood of the picture. Always remember YOUR mood, your feeling when you took the photo. Such should show up in the final work as well.

X-Proc

No, this has nothing to do with X-Man or other futuristic SciFi films. But did you ever think of a new look for some of your pictures ? Ever thought of X-processing them ? Do you remember how you did it in former analog film times ? Complicated, yes, with unforeseeable results, yes. But now we have Photoshop, The Gimp or whatever you use. Take one of your pictures and develop them X-style. It is easy. It is just a play with Curves :) Not too complicated but the results are interesting . See this example.

X-processed with curves … and a bit fairydust as well.
