I have seen photographs with this effect applied to them, but didn’t know what it was called, or how to do it lol.

I wanted an effect on a photograph I had taken, so just applied a B&W grainy filter/plugin and then messed about with the brighness and contrast in photoshop and came up with this:

I then decided to have a nose about in GoSnap’s tutorial section, and found a High Key tutorial - OMG it is fantastic. I applied the effect to the same photograph I had used above and came out with this:

I posted the result into my gallery and got some advice from Snake saying that maybe the eyes could be brought out a bit more by using the burn tool, and he very kindly wrote me a tutorial on how to do it. Here is the final result:

I have to say, I absolutely love it - thank you to everyone @ GoSnap!

Stumble it!
