I have a confession: I am a certified Photoshop-er. Oh wait, you know that already?

I started learning the art back in 2011. I began with simple adjustments of levels, curves and brightness, with dodging and with burning, with clone stamping. I was then forced to learn more when I was doing my architectural rendering for my thesis in 2012. With the help of Alex Hogrefe’s tutorials, I have improved. Today I use Photoshop for a living (well, not entirely) and sometimes just when I’m bored. For example:

Photo I took in my room, against a white wall.Boring white wall, who wants that? Edited photo with added background.

HAHA! If I can’t go to the forest, I’ll bring the forest to me. (Sorry, I can’t help it. How come everyone on Lookbook has access to the woods and I don’t?) I spotted this picture on Google and thought of using it for this editing since it has a good focused foreground and a nice blurry background. Plus who doesn’t like bokeh? I know I do!

To show you how else I use Photoshop, see the photo below:

It’s an interior perspective of a mall atrium modeled in SketchUp, rendered in Kerkythea and post processed in Photoshop. I already did a tutorial on this, you can view it here: PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL: Interior Perspective.

Those are the things I do in Photoshop. But this software definitely has a lot more uses. What do you do with it? Share your work! 🙂
