How to do the ever-popular "Face Swap"

Clicking on any image will make it larger!

1. Choose your image an import it into Photoshop

2. Decide on the face you want and use the lasso tool to select it

3. Copy the face and past it onto all other faces in the image

4. Adjust angle and size for each head (free transform)

5. Use the eraser tool (if necessary) if bangs or hair are being covered by any part of the face

6. Merge ONE face to background and use the Spot Heal tool to blend the edges into the faces

7. If the skin tones are too different, use the eyedropper tool to select the lighter of the two, and use the paint brush tool to put a lighter opacity layer of color over the darker skin tone

8. Repeat for all faces in the picture

9. Flatten image and save as a .jpg

How do I make my work?

Living in the digital age makes life easy. We have cameras, alarm clocks, Internet, and arcades built right into our smart phones. A digital world also produces digital art. I much prefer using a digital camera than a film camera.

My history has been filed with many different types of cameras: Polaroid i-zone, Canon 530, 35 mm, and lomo fish-eye, to name a few. The camera I work with now is a Nikon D3100 (below).

After shooting my photos, I load them into my computer and import them into Photoshop. Depending on what I want to do, I edit the brightness, clarity, and color balance of each photo individually. Sometimes I focus more on image manipulation as often featured on my other blog here.

When things are done for an assignment or for archiving, I print my photos (in varying sizes) on Epson Premium Luster paper in the UC Photo lab. Sometimes my photos are only for online viewing purposes and are posted to my blog here.

My favorite series that she has done is Elderly Animals. This is my favorite photograph from that series; a 28 year old Embden Goose.

 Isa is an inspiration to me because her work focuses on that beyond conceptual. Photography is a visual art, and oftentimes becomes more conceptual than visual. My work can sometimes be conceptual, but the reason I enjoy photography is because it doesn't always need a concept. Sometimes photos are just meant to be pleasing to look at. My photographs, especially those that focus on antiques, are about the object, not the concept. The objects I choose carefully and thoughtfully. They are places in ways that are very thought out. I don't like my photographs take chances.
