And a self portrait... In black and white!

I took a portrait of myself today. I needed one. :) This time I don't look like a horse.

Really nice photo, you look like an unhappy british little boy with a not-so-british nose

skitsött, bögen

British noses are like big potatoes, aren't they?

Haha, interesting comparison, but yes, they are quite like that now that I think about it. Very nice photo.

Looks really cool. If it wasn't black and white it'd look like a contact advertisement. You should really do something like that sometime. Is it possible to see a color version? I like it though. Nice job.

i'd hit it.
hope you weren't too overzealous with the airbrushing :D

I can't wait until we find out Martin is a hideous monstrosity who has just been photoshopping pictures of himself so heavily he look like that. Awesome portrait man.

wicked photo! how much processing went into it though?

99,9%

Wow great portrait. And did you edit the eyes just like in your 'portrait editing tutorial'? Your eyes have been captured on the picture formidable! It's a really good focus point for me. Can't say anything bad about it :') You're to high skilled for mexD

Now i'm not too familiar with photography but i must ask.
How much do ou manipulate your photos? Just a question because it seems that 95% of photos are manipulated on these forums. in some cases its a shame, in others it can be quite useful.

I post process all of my photos. Sometimes a little and sometimes a lot. But I know that when people ask me how much work has been done in post, I know I did pretty well. You shouldn't really see exactly what has been done afterwards.
I almost never think that photo editing is a shame. I think it is an art in itself, especially beauty retouching. Beauty retouching has never been a good thing as you simply turn normal people into perfect people, but still it takes a lot of skill and patience. Some people tend to totally over manipulate photos though and that sucks. It can look cool but in the end you realize it's just a lot of curves and levels in Photoshop.

Hahahahahahaha
