The images in this gallery are the product of artistic collaboration with Oleg Birioukov. Oleg has some beautiful galleries and I highly recommend that you give his pages a visit. Oleg produced the professionally posed and lighted portrait of Polina, that I used to as the center piece of each of these images. I have included a brief description of what was done in a caption below each image. This is my first real attempt at using photo-manipulation with purely artistic goals, in the past I have only photo manipulation to restore old damaged photos, remove unwanted objects from images, repaint the odd car or just perform minor photo retouching. Corel PhotoPaint 10 was the only software used for processing these images. We hope you enjoy viewing the results. E-mail me if you need photo modification/restoration etc at very reasonable rates
