Prom: a day in the life of a teen

[natatbeach]

I got a chance to take some shots of a friend's daughter...boy what a flash back and a reminder of how old I am...she had four friends show up to "help"
she is one of the cutest and most genuine young women I know...

1) darn flash...or sun or whatever it was... but I loved her reflection
2) getting ready
3) does the blur work....putting on shoes quickly
4) one of my favs--- classic teen bedroom(chaos) tried to isolate her and desaturate...

5) today's teen
6) the back up date ---though she'd never need one

Like all the shots. Like the use of B&W. The selective color has to go; too cliche.

I'm all about cheesy...from a teen perspective though it's fun to see yourself in technicolor---especially when none of your friends have any pics like it

but it is kinda hokey...i think it probably has it's place...

thnaks for looking

I like these Natalie and I actually do like the selective color.... cheesy though it may be. *smile*

two layers in PS one in gray scale and one RGB select/erase what you need to off the top layer...pretty easy... have fun with it...but it can look pretty cheesy sometimes...here's a few more with bad PS retocuhing I need to fix 'em...but I like her expression and there'some filter s I want to add...

I like the second and third of the first set the best. Like you say, shows the "chaos" of the moment.
