Description My family recently came back from Japan, after living in Wakayama for a year.

They took something like 15,000 photographs, so I went a bit crazy and edited a bunch of them to look as if they were little models. I like how this one came out!

Photograph by Andy Hay.
Editing in Photoshop by me.
2006

Woah! You really mean to say this was once a photograph?! It looks exactly like a model! That's pretty awesome and very clever!

How did you do this? Is it a filter?

I just blurred the top and bottom of the photo in Photoshop

No problem! It also helps if your photos are from a high angle (cus it looks like you're looking down on a model)

It's a beautifully crisp photo. I don't understand how you made it look like models! Is it just the blurr?

That's crazy, I was gonna ask, "Where did you get that model?!" but um ya. Looks awesome. And all you have to do is blur? nothing else? I should get photoshop for my birthday.

Pinflux In reply to 9CiTrUs2 [2007-05-19 05:28:01 +0000 UTC]

Heh heh yeah, basically you're emulating taking a photo of a model. You'll often notice in model photography that the camera is so close that it can only focus on objects that are a very precise distance from it. So as long as you try to make sure that the unblurred section is about the same distance from the camera it should look good, though using photos taken from a high angle also helps to sell the effect...
