Here are some of my favorite special effects photos. Every picture I created was made with photos of flowers from my garden or items I photographed myself. Here is a gallery of some serious and not-so-serious special effects art! Can you guess the chocolate lab's name in the bowl of candy? What a cool dog!

Click on this drawing to see some of my special effects.

The same steps I take to create one of my special effects pictures are the same used for retouching pictures that might need a little work (such as removing dog drool, fixing a child's bangs, or moving a person from one side of a table to another in a group shot). Look for my "retouching" link on this page to view some before and after pictures.
