Athena cosplay…
I love playing in post to desaturate the color in an image so that just a hint of color comes through. This technique has worked many times with my travel portrait images to create a hand-painted, timeless look that seems more like a painting than a photograph. I thought I would try it with this Athena cosplayer.
The process is easy: duplicate the layer of the photograph in Photoshop, covert to black and white and reduce the opacity of that layer to taste. This is the first cosplay portrait that I have tried it with and I love the result!
