Daves View
Self-Portrait
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 29 October 2008 in People & Portrait.
This is me. After a long day in work and sorting out some piccies. The processing is an emulation of Andrez Dragan, whose website is stunning, if a bit loud!
I don't like posing for any photos; if you're looking for a descriptive term, I think "rough as a badgers arse" fits quite well here!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Well, check out those green eyes, what are you a model? and so young, I expected someone with your talent to be much older LOL Nice to meet you handsome!

@Lorraine: Nope, blue eyes normally, it's cos of the processing! And I'm 27 and not handsome at all, but thanks anyway! :)
@One: Thanks One

Great portrait in every way. How did you emulate that guy's work?

@amos: They had a tutorial in a photography magazine I bought a while back, I had a play around with it in photoshop! If you want, I can see about scanning in the pages for you. Alternatively, if you type Dragan effect into youtube there are some interesting tutorial videos!
