So there’s this video, transforming Angela Talbot’s Old Lady into a young woman. I really love that kind of before/after videos and photos. Needless to say the photo is quite a challenge for almost anyone. Couple of months ago I was bored, really-really bored and decided to give this lady a shot. My idea was not to transform her into a young woman or to use body parts from other people. I wanted to make her about 20 years younger using only my Photoshop tools and the very same photo of that statue. And this is what I came up with:

I realize the photo I uploaded is a mere 500px in width but I do have it in 1200px in width as well.

And a closer look. By the time I got around to making her hand I was already pretty tired :D
That’s why the outcome is rather sloppy.

EDIT: I added a closer look of the original image.

EDIT#2: Okay, so I couldn’t help myself and created a younger version as well :D
I used my previous photo (20 years younger) as a base and added various parts of 3 other images: hair, cleavage, face: skin texture, jaw line, nose reshaping, brows, lips, iris of the eye and eyelashes.

Sunday and Helena

Wow. That day was a dream. Seriously. I’m still speechless. I really think we took a lot of gorgeous photos that day. She has never been a “stiff-poser”, meaning that I took shots of her while we were talking, walking etc. So these photos of her are natural, no fake modeling involved.
I’m not going to post every fantastic photo I took of Helena, because that would be a tad too much :D
But I am going to upload some of my faves. I had a very hard time choosing them, though…so plenty to choose from.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering - she’s quite tall, like a real model :)

Oldie b&w. Wearing my sunglasses, her high school ring and leaning on a railing.

The stairs. I’m not going into detail about getting this shot, but I must say…it wasn’t the most comfortable position for me :D

Posing in this one :D Something in ANTM style. But still a great photo ;P

Sitting on a bench. It was a bit over exposed due to the Sun.

Standing on the roots of a pine tree. Leaving behind the hill of Nõmme. Also holding a leaf.

On a ski jumping tower. I don’t know why I like this shot so much. I just do :D

 

Anyways! I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my latest creations and see you next time ;P
