As a portrait photographer I use impressionist, post-impressionist and surrealist painters as inspiration for this series. I use a primitive form of photoshop (ACDsee)to achieve this look, using tools that are similar to what would be used for film photography such as exposure, dodging and burning, contrast and I also use the drawing, healing and cloning tools.
