Special Effects

Using fine art pictures found on the Web or in Usenet groups, I played with Paint Shop Pro to apply special effects, or to combine black and white photographs with colored patterns. The results sometimes look like what you'd get by projecting a picture directly on a model with a slide projector. Sometimes, they don't look like anything you could get with classical (read: non-digital) means. Some of these pictures are 800 x 600 pixels, which makes for nice wallpapers on your computer screen. Whenever possible, I credited the original pictures to the photographers: credits are given at the bottom of this page.

Credits for original photographs.

Most of the above pictures were originally black and white photographs from Tim Phillips, a british photographer who set up a nice web site and sells prints online. Please note that, if you're connecting to the Net from behind a proxy (a typical situation when surfing from the workplace), Tim's site is likely to be blocked, because it contains pictures of naked women, and you're not supposed to look at that kind of stuff when at work...

A few of these pictures come from books by Hervé Lewis, a french photographer. He became famous when he did some of the "lessons" for the Aubade advertising campaing (the Audabe Web site is likely to be blocked by your corporate proxy, too - no naked women there, but I guess lingerie is considered evil enough by network administrators to be put on a black list).

Finally, one or two pictures come from Usenet newsgroups such as alt.binaries.photos.nude-art or alt.binaries.photos.nude-art.moderated (there are Web sites which make it easy to find and download pictures from Usenet newsgroups, but they are likely to be blocked by your proxy, since 99% of pictures in these groups are of "adult" nature).  As pictures are seldom credited there, it means I don't know who the photographer is!

The table and thumbnails were generated with the Gallery freeware from Mino Studio. The page was then edited with Netscape Composer (it comes free with Netscape Communicator Version 4.7, unfortunately I think it was removed from more recent releases).
