Oldie but a Goodie
I found this challenge a bit daunting as I don’t take people photos very often. I find them hard to edit because I am afraid of making them look less than flattering. This photo was taken last winter when our camera club took a trip into Toronto for a day of shooting around town. In the Distillery District of Toronto there are some old cars to give a bit of atmosphere to the place. One of the camera club people gladly modeled for me here. To give it texture today I changed the colour photo to a black and white using Pioneer Woman “Sepia” action. I added Kim Klassen’s “porvous” texture. The first layer blending mode was softlight and an adjustment layer to take off a bit of the texture on the truck. The second layer was using the same texture with a blending mode of multiply. I made an adjustment layer to brighten the look. Hope I have accomplished what this week’s challenge asked. I kinda like it myself.

I don't usually take pictures of people, either, so I sympathize. You did a great job with this one -- the texture is very appropriate.
Stunning, Valerie! Your photo is just lovely, reminiscent of years gone by.
Have a beautiful week ~

Hi Val
The photo has a nice vintage look. I don't understand all the layers and things you go through, but you enjoy it and they turn out really well.
