Taking what I've learned in CG world and applying to the practical world is an interesting. It combines the best of what I know virtually with real world images. All images below are the final retouched images using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4. Images were shot on a Canon Rebel T2i with a Canon 17-55mm F2.8 lens. Lighting in most cases is only natural light though an external flash was sometimes used for eye catch lights as well as a large reflector.
