I am playing with the idea of manipulating current images I have of un-restored classic cars. For my gallery series I have been using just straight photographs, edited only for color correction and cropping. Here I have before and after shots. I used Photoshop to create a sort of a cut-paper effect by selecting colors with the Magic wand tool and filling in sections on different layers. I’m not sure how I feel about the results. I mean I think they are really interesting and definately highlight the facial features of the cars but I’m not sure how original the concept is or if it’s worth taking to the gallery level. Maybe I should just stick to straight photography?
