Lighting Effects



Stacked, originally uploaded by jjvornov.

This is a bit of an experiment with Photoshop’s Lighting Effects filter. Vincent Versace uses it extensively to light photographs after the fact. In this image, I was trying to be subtle about making what was relatively flat lighting with nice texture into something that was pretty convincingly sunlit.

Perhaps its a bit too subtle, but it certainly is a believable unreality to my eye.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
