I am looking for a creative individual that can take some photos I have and create some cool effects/backgrounds that will take these simple studio shots and make them cool. I only have some suggestions via pictures I’ve found online including 1 video that I like to give you an idea of what I’m looking for. But I need to use these photos for competition and want them to be fun, and have people say cool pictures.
THINK ALBUM COVER COOL 🙂
On one of the serious (non smiling) black t-shirt shots I wanted to do this black and red type look in this video I have posted below. It’s Skillet’s Hero
If you pause the video at 0:25-0:30 you’ll see the black background with a really cool red/orange gel type look, so maybe you could do something cool like that. The whole video is like that which I really like
Other than that I was thinking of shots that look like the examples I’ve got listed here:
http://www.kjphoto.com/blog/?p=27 Shot here could be a mix of me and Jen 1 white jacket the other in black mixed but I like the background-There are 3 cool shots here on this page.
http://newyork.metromix.com/restaurants/standard_photo_gallery/chef-shots-jonathan-benno/2543425/content This head shot with the kitchen in the background kinda blurred out but you tell it’s still a noticeable kitchen.
http://jwkpec.smugmug.com/Portraits/Chef-Shots-1/13135657_9SZfzr#1035319194_mv8QX This 3 shot is really cool and thought maybe you could cut and paste something cool like this between all the shots I give you.
http://jwkpec.smugmug.com/Portraits/Chef-Shots-1/13135657_9SZfzr#829612791_BpyQ5 This shot or any you can do with food words in the back could be cool, words like FRESH, Meijer Culinary, Culinary Team, EAT, etc.

These pictures will be used for website, twitter, FaceBook, and for competition flyers we do throughout the year. So some will look mean and fierce (like bring it on!) and some are like “Hey, were your neighborhood friendly chefs. If you’ve got any great ideas I am all for suggestions.
In all I am looking for 12-20 different pictures
2-3 of the male chef alone
2-3 of the female chef alone
2-3 of them together in the black shirts
2-3 of them together in the white chef jackets
3-4 creative mix of maybe the two of them copied to look like 10 chefs in the shot….but that’s where your creativity comes in. I’ve included a sample shot for you to see what type of studio shots you’ll be working with. The pictures are 35-55MB each and I have about 8 or 10 shots for you to use and I need to get them to you maybe via your FTP server, etc. Please let me know if you are interested in this project. I have about 7-10 days to make this happen. Please only those who have good photoshop or other skills to make this happen please. I am also open to any other options like a gif slide, etc. I would also like 2-3 in a photoshop file or AI file so I can make word or color changes to fit my needs.
Let me know if you need more detail.
