Turn Your Photos Into Unique Artwork Just In Time For Christmas Gift Giving.

By: Nancy Springer Home | Arts-and-Entertainment


Looking for a unique gift this year turn your favorite photograph into a true work of art; Photo Art!

Start with a photo that the gift recipient will love. It can be of a person, pet or someplace special. Photo manipulation and enlargement can be done on home computers, using digital programs such as Adobe Photoshop. Photo finishing services at stores such as FedEx Kinko's, will enlarge your photo and print it on Gloss, matte, and canvas. Cost for canvas enlargements run about $10 per square foot for color. This price does not include any altering of the photo. What you see is what you get, which may leave a lot to desire.

Photo to Art" services, on Giglee canvas are available over the internet, through companies such PhotoArt123.com www.PhotoArt123.com provide a way to get true, one-of-a-kind fine photo to Art" artwork, on canvas or art paper, which make unique gifts and will surely become family heirlooms. Many styles of Photo Art, from traditional Oil, to the bright and popular Warhol inspired Pop Art" can brighten up any room for about the same cost as mass produced store bought art. The quality of Digital Photo Art combined with Giclee pringing on canvas or art paper rivals that of traditional artwork... and one step better, as you can review your artwork and have modifications made prior to the printing process. You can't do that with traditional commissioned artwork. The process is simple and can be done without even leaving your home. Simply visit the website, review the photo art styles, upload your photo and chose the Photo Art style you want. Even ordinary photos can look outstanding! with a little help from our artists", exclaimed Nancy L. Springer, President of http://PHOTOART123.com. Nancy heads a group of highly-skilled artists and professionals with a great passion for art and design oil, watercolor, or a colorful Warhol style Pop Art portrait. 
"Our artist create intriguing portraits which combine sensitivity, imagination, and technical quality.. Each photo art or pop art portrait is custom designed and completely unique No two portraits are ever the same, stated Ms. Springer.

Many sites also offer photo retouching services, such as blemish correction or digital sliming as part of photo to art" services.

Where a commission painting can take anywhere from three to six months, with digital photo art you'll be able to proof your artwork online in a week and have your artwork delivered in as little as two.

Don't have a great photo? Digital cameras make it easy to take that perfect shot, without the expense of film. Here are some tips to take the perfect photo to turn into photo art:

1. Photograph people with the sun behind them which prevents squinting. It also creates nice highlights in their hair.

2. Make sure the subject is isolated; not touching someone else or obstructed by another person or object.

3. The photo must be clear, not blurry and the subject is the main focal point of the photo.

4. If you are outside, watch out for shadows.

5.Use a digital camera with at least a rating of 2 megapixal.
Camera phones do not have the quality needed.

What works best for the Warhol Pop Art Style: Head shots, where the entire head, and part of the neck (and sometimes the shoulders), are fully in the shot (not cut off), being the major part of the photo and distinguishable from the background works well. Although different angles on pets can work at times, face-forward is the best shot for this style of artwork..

This year, don't settle for the mundane, give the people you appreciate a unique gift that will touch their heart forever.
