It is called Vignetting, which, as you described: […] is a reduction of an image's brightness or saturation at the periphery compared to the image center. It can appear as Mechanical (filters used in a shoot, improper lens hood, etc) Optical (lens) Natural (illumination falloff) Pixel (digital sensor's alignment to the scene) Photographic film (the ...

Risking to state the obvious: those are animated gifs. Considering their limited colors and big sizes at even relatively low resolutions you'd try to change as little as possible between frames of the animation. My guess is these gifs are based on video footage with some clever and careful masking; only a portion of the images actually change. You can see ...

This background looks like it was created with the Lens Blur filter in Photoshop, with a high radius and with specular highlights set to 0. Shape Blur could also get this effect, using an elliptical solid shape. It doesn't look like in-camera blur, and it certainly isn't gaussian blur. The hand with phone and the face of the phone are separate images ...

The colour treatment? You can do most of that with a Gradient Map. In the example below, I'm using a Gradient Map that's set to 80% opacity. With a Gradient Map Without a Gradient Map (Image nabbed from here.)

Whether you go the LLC route or not, you're essentially a sole-proprietor / consultant / freelancer. For that model, I'd stay away from titles and just tell people what you do. Design, Development, Photography and Writing It's not short or catchy but you'll be able to explain yourself less and sell more. Think of the order of the words as the priority of ...

I've noted this set before. But it's worth repeating. Automatic UI bonus points if your avatars include luchadores. Who doesn't like extra credit? So what are you waiting for: Head to IconFinder to get the set.

There's a lot of avatar sets available online for free. Here's one example. Just use the shapes and re-style them for the needs of your design. Most of the sets can be very easily found through google, the real art though is in getting something that fits the layout. Usually you'll find that it's best to obtain an AI or PSD file and change colors / add ...

I'm not someone who's been in a position to hire someone with your skill set, so take this with a grain of salt. However, some thoughts: "Creative" is a really abstract idea. If I'm making a website and I don't know anything about design, I don't know if my first thought would be "I need someone creative." If I needed a writer, I don't know if I would say ...

I think Utopicam above has your solution. Hire a photographer, find some customers who are willing to model, and take photos of them IN the salon. The bonus for the salon is that the images will also promote his/her actual business, not just "generic salon." With a digital camera and a laptop, you can review photos on site, and make sure you and the owner ...

In addition to what DA01 says I would think carefully about your objectives for the site. If the main goal is to sell images then provide clear and obvious buttons or links for people to buy. Don't clutter the site with distractions or additional information that is not important. Also it is crucial that you do not overwhelm visitors with options. People ...

The primary ingredient of any successful site is quality content. Pick out the best photos. Perhaps edit it down to the best of the best. Make them big. Add very little else to distract from the content/product. Other than that, avoid flash and auto-playing sounds (something way too many photographers seem to get enamored with when they build their web ...

according to me Phone in hand and the background both is placed differently its not created with the help of filters.... first they worked on background with filters and then they placed the Hand with the phone to look prominent.... we have multiple way of doing the same,all you need is to be specific in your selection after that leave everything on ...

If you can keep consistent lighting in the photographs, for example, by having the same light point at the table and place the camera somewhere so you know you can always shoot the image in the same conditions, you could record Curves or Levels Action to do this (I would suggest Curves, since you want to have pretty exact results.) Then you could just open ...

It is a 3D render. Google image search turns up the creator Marcel Haladej at CgSociety.com Excellent image if you look at the Full size.

Although I am not sure exactly what you mean, if I wanted to achieve this effect, I would: Make the brights brighter and darks darker via levels or contrast Drop the saturation a bit And possibly add a grunge texture to make it more gritty Hope this helped!
