Example of "pro products": Mdemaz just got a promo headshot!

[FreeSpeech]

Sorry if this creeped you out man, I had you on an old fake Facebook I had, so I wanted to show how ALL of you are capable of putting out stuff that looks professional. I'm trying to practice my Photoshop, so I used you as a trial.

The headshot is a staple of any musician, it is sent out as promo, used for articles, etc. Every real artist has at least one.



And nowwww......

From this:

I think I did one of those awhile ago..

But I just used high contrast and sharpness and shit..
Looks pretty cool...

Lol, I'm glad I got rid of that beard..Looks horrible..

[Atone]

Takes a lot more than just changing the contrast and sharpness amigo. Gotta use clone tool, brush, blender, filters, etc.

And the beard is dope, just if you keep it clean like in the photoshopped pic.

Atone, upload a pic to this thread.

I would use the extract tool sometimes and put me in a background or something..Pretty basic stuff..

Well, that photo was taken in October 2010 I think or something..Couldn't be bothered growing the beard and it took too long so I cut it off in Feb 2011..

That image is big, so don't click it if you got crap internet, lol!
But yeah, it's shit, I'm still experimenting with Photoshop at the moment..

Same with video production and using tints and color correction.

Ya, see that pic is not good. You didn't correct any blemishes, it isn't smooth, and looks pixelated. This is the first face I've ever done in photoshop, it isn't hard at all if you just google/youtube what to do.

Wow, that was good...

Black background looks worse than the white one imo. Looks more unprofessional.

@Atone, why you trying to look so "hard" in your pics?

Not tryin to look hard, i just hate smiling, i have real fucked up teeth cuz when i was younger and had a loose tooth i never waited for it to fall out, i twisted and pulled so much it fucked up the way they grew back, so i got teeth behind teeth, and in schopol ppl called me shark boy and shit, so i just don't smile, even in my school pics i didn't
