"It's all about the music!"

"It's all about the music!"

Uploaded: April 07, 2009

Description

This is a photo that I took of my Grandson Nick playing his guitar. He is self taught and a great guitarist. He asked me if I could create a powerful poster showing himself and his music??
I started with a simple photo of him indoors without a flash, holding his guitar.
Then with the use of Adobe Photoshop, I extracted the background. Layered that on a gradient for a new background. I then created some cloud formation and began layering and experimenting with different brushes. I wanted to create something very artistic, colorful and expressive.
Nick loves the results and I hope you will enjoy viewing it too. Thanks for visiting.
