A Turkish Woman

This gallery contains 1 photo.

  Istanbul, Turkey 2008 I used Topaz Impressions 2 to get this sketched look. I masked her face because I wanted to show her calm and rather stoic expression. She’s unfazed…used to having her photo taken by tourists. Although she probably lives in … Continue reading

Fez, Morocco 1995 I love this vintage travel poster look! If only I could get all my photos to work the way this one does. But they won’t. I used Alien Skin’s Snap Art to get this effect. It wasn’t … Continue reading
