My parents found this photo of my late grandmother from when she was young, and asked if I could scan it and remove the unfortunate damage it had taken on. The end result on the right features the removal of the creases and discoloration, plus a slight boost in contrast.

Another photo of my grandmother, but unfortunately with a lot of nasty creases and marks. I removed the lines, increased the contrast, and sharpened the details to restore the photo to what it once was.

The client at Duquesne University wanted a large wall graphic featuring their collection of awarded football rings, and I was given a somewhat dark photo of the rings on crushed glass with a red light underneath. I took the image into Photoshop to filter out the red and edited the rings to be more natural in color. Once I sat it underneath the university logo with the client's requested text, the graphic was approved for production.

Sullair was looking to round out their tradeshow booth with a photo-op for passing visitors to stand behind and snap a picture. They had an idea to feature a life-size football player cutout with a Sullair-branded jersey, but no such image existed. Some stock photo research led me to this image, which had a great blank area to feature the company’s branding. Plus, the head could be removed cleanly (😳) so a person could position their own head in its place.

A friend had asked me to fix up this sentimental photo of a neighbor's dog, and I was happy to help. The photograph endured years of exposure to sunlight and became very desaturated as a result. After a lot of clone-tooling and color correcting, the image was revitalized.
