Good morning Abe,
Do you think you could somehow create an image with Trey Songz and my niece together? My sister just wanted to do something special for her for Christmas and being that she's a huge fan of Trey wanted to know if I could get someone to do it. If you think you can come up with something will you let me know and let me know what you would charge? THANKS!!!!
This is not a hard request.
But... To make a really clean composition, I request photos be at least 1 megapixel. A lot of the stuff taken with phones are not suitable. Many times we compress our pics to a small size for email This is not the time to be frugal with disk space. I need the original image in order to manipulate to the best of my ability.
1st problem with the pics was the Trey Songz pic. It was 250x250. I was aiming for a 800x800 composition. O.K. I found a larger format of the same pic on the web. It still wasn't what I wanted, but oh. Well..
The pictures of Whitney are good pics, but the quality of the images are not the best. This takes a bit of tweaking of both her image and Trey's to make them look anywhere near the ideal of the picture being taken together. This flung a 10 minute job into well over an hour. No biggie... I needed to practice.
Customers: Unless you TRUST your artist, give explicit directions/instructions on what to include in the image. I took tons of liberties because I had no specifications. I hope Whitney finds them to be acceptable.
