We are drawn into images by the sharpness of eye contact. Eye contact transcends the initial view of the image and allows us to establish that personal connection. Images that draw us in, keep our interest, and give us time to view the entire image are those where the eyes of the portrait subject look into our eyes.
Most of us have shot portrait jobs, whether on a professional basis or as an interested relative. We prep our subjects about what clothes to bring, props to pose with, and location backgrounds to deal with. We combine those elements into compositions and shoot away, telling our subjects to move this way, change hand positions or hip angles, chin angles up or down. But when it comes time to shoot the image those eyes had better be sharp.
This tutorial holds four segments, not including introduction, showing you four different methods of how to make the eyes look amazing in photoshop.
Chose any of the four methods on one or more of your favorite images and upload to our project section or you may want to share your own technique with us. The nice thing about Photoshop is that there are multiple ways to do the same job.
