Photographic Art Portraits

I wanted to gauge people reactions and feedback to the photographic art above.  It's not something i do a lot of but i was interested to see if i could make a series of images that are closer to traditional art than true photography.  This is the same series of photos that i took from my recent trip to Bali, Indonesia and i wanted to create something a little different.

Using a series of lighting techniques using adjustment layers and filters in Adobe Photoshop CS5 i have created these highly stylised portraits that have been cropped to a square format.  I think they would look great in a series of canvas prints

While i definitely wont be doing this regularly i certainly had fun creating these photographic art portraits and may look to create some more down the line.  If anyone is interested in purchasing one of these on a canvas please let me know as i can get some great pricing on quality archival canvas that would be sure to create a talking point in your lounge room.

I would love feedback of any sort so please don't hesitate to leave a comment.
