Before and after shot (interviewee)

On the left is the orginal image of my model posing for my contents page( Before) i had used a white background so when i edit it on photshop it would be easier for me to cut around my model. I had then edited this image by using photoshop and transformed the picture on the right ( after). I had opend the image up on photoshop and cut around my model then i had fill in the background black, i had surfaced blur my image so this will make my model look airbrushed and cover any marks on her.I had then used blending option to give my image a outglow of white so the image would stand out and give it a effect.
