Forgot to snap a graduation photo of their daughter by herself during all the excitement. Asked if it was possible to create a standalone photo from the one emailed to me on the left. Photoshop was used to create the requested photo on the right.

Parent was not happy with the way the son looked in the graduation photo, and asked me if I would take a picture in my studio. The picture on the left is the studio shot with a rented gown from the school. After the studio session I used Photoshop to create a sash similar to the one shown in the original school photo, then added in a templated backdrop, as well as a corner label with the school name, date and a little pic to remember the global event that took place when attending school.
