Photography...turning okay photos into 'really cool' photos

Just recently I took my 20 year old son and his girlfriend on a photo shoot to celebrate their 3 year anniversary! The two of them are so sweet and I wanted to do something special for them. My son has always been extremely hard to photograph because he hates to have his picture taken, but somehow standing next to the love of his life made it much easier for him.

Here is a series of photos starting with the original and then applying some grungy overlays and cool text to finish it off.

Photo 1: Original



















Photo 2: Antiqued
