Photo Effect Tutorial

March 19, 2008 by Phil in Design, Tutorial


So in the past few months I’ve been following Aaron Ivey’s blog after coming across it through a mutual friend. I don’t know Aaron personally, but I have enjoyed reading his posts, especially those that showcase his photography (those are just a small sample). I really dig the coloring and post effects that he adds to his shots and I’ve had a few friends inquire as to how he might be achieving that look. I thought I’d play in Photoshop a bit and see if I could come up with something similar. The idea is not to copy directly, but to come up with something that’s of a similar style.

Nice. Kind of reminds me of how the shots looked in The Matrix.

You’re giving people step by step instructions on how to muck up photos?
