Using Photoshop I edited my models facial expression using the masking tool and I also used the curves to bring out the highlights to eliminate shadow. This gives the image a Giussepe feel. I used the burn tool to add definition to the lipstick. I would like to further experiment with this technique for the ear and mouth. The results will be documented here.
I took a series of studio portraits of my model using a tripod to ensure I didn't move the focus. I took shots of her head on and with her hands over her face and her mouth. I am then going to crop the features from the head on photograph onto the hands.
