To Neon, Or Not To Neon?

Ria, Plymouth, 2009

Is that the question?

I really love these headshots of Ria and in their natural state they are images that I’m very proud of.

A slip of the stylus later, however, and I was plunged into this neon world — a world that I can’t escape! What’s to become of me? Will I never appreciate the simple, natural portrait again?

Am I doomed to over-photoshop my images to within an inch of their lives?

No, I’m not. But I do love these experiments from time to time.
