I had so much fun doing these edits! I used Corey Barker's tutorial on luminosity for both of these images. Corey is incredibly talented, and his instructions were very easy to follow.

To get the best results with this technique, I took the pictures of my sister near a window, so half of her face had more shadows than the other. We were also super cheesy and used a fan to give her hair some motion. I followed the tutorial all the way through on the first image, selecting the highlights, creating a new alpha channel and applying a gradient. On the second image, I filled the highlights with a solid color instead of a gradient.

I added Sarah's name in Agelina font on the first image and Beautiful ES and Cicle fonts on the second image.
