Here are a couple of pictures I found on stock exchange a really great stock photography site that’s actually free. (check it out at www.sxc.hu)
Anyways with a couple of minutes in photoshop you can really change a picture and give it a whole new meaning.
In this picture of a man, whom I call Cowboy, all I really did is play with the highlights and the dark areas, make a few areas pop, like the eyes and add a background. One of the easiest ways to change a picture in my opinion is to adjust the eyes, it is the first thing I usually am drawn to, and usually in the center of the image. By playing with the dodge and burn tools you can really make this type area pop.
Once again, started with the eyes and worked around the picture a little and made it have a completely different feeling. From sweet to sinister in less than 5 minutes.
