The online community of Photoshop enthusiasts, amused by Huet’s work, embarked on their own adventures in big head manipulation. Prepare for laughter and awe at their skills in this showcase of creativity and humor.

Another Large Head Predicament

Is it the fork’s fault? Why is my head so large? Let’s ponder.

Thoughts Overflowing

“My head’s brimming with thoughts. There’s too much to do and yet, I accomplish little. It’s overwhelming.”

Strain of Thoughts

What’s with the back pain? Could it be the weight of his thoughts? His expression tells it all.

Head Overload

Turning could be risky! The neck might not support the head’s size.

Playpen Relaxation

“Here’s my brother, taking a break with his head in the kid’s playpen. Everyone needs a little rest.”

Girl with a Giant Head

It turns out, this humorous head-enlarging trend isn’t just for boys!

Hospital Visit with a Big Head

Imagine the reaction in the hospital when they see this huge head! Surely, the doctors will rush over.

Seeking Medical Attention

“No one’s coming to help? Looks like I’ll have to find a doctor myself.”

The Heavy Headed

You don’t know what a real burden is until you’ve got a comically oversized head!

Big Head in the Living Room

A special chair might be necessary for comfort with a head this size. Notice the amusing facial expression!

Big Head on a Call

One benefit of phone conversations is that clients can’t see your oversized head during the call.

Lunchtime Mishap

Oops! Accidentally dunking our oversized head into the lunch.

Expressive Glance

The emotion captured in this image is striking. It seems like he’s about to say something. What are your thoughts?

Dog Walking Challenge

Walking the dog is no easy feat when your head is four times the size of your pet!

Final Thoughts

This concept is both amazing and humorous! It has the potential to be as popular as internet memes like planking. The true challenge lies in skillfully using Photoshop to make the manipulations look real. It’s a great way to inspire and amuse your audience.

Which do you find more entertaining: big heads or planking? And while we’ve found some hilariously large heads, we might have missed some. If you come across any, feel free to share the fun with us!

The post 20 Imaginative “Big Head” Photo Creations appeared first on Hongkiat.

Photos could be spread out in different locations – in your phone, tablet, laptop, desktop PC, external hard disk, memory cards, and even in the cloud.

Nowadays, the routine is simply to shoot and share on social media. After which images are just tucked anywhere convenient until the phone’s storage fills up.

We’ve listed here suggestions of what you can do with those photos. These are not geared toward professional photographers but more for hobbyist and everyday, regular picture-takers.

Those who occasionally deal with photos as part of their work or business may also find helpful ideas in this list.

1. Organize Your Photos

Housekeeping will always do you good, especially when it comes to your photos. There are many reasons why you should organize your digital images. The most compelling thing is it’s much easier to find what you’re looking for.

Here are real case scenarios:

• A marketer tasked to come up with a visual presentation
• An online store owner who needs to make a product catalog
• A content creator wanting to make a photo collage

You’d be more productive and efficient if the photos you need are categorized and organized. Unlike years ago when you have to physically deal with printed photos, it is much easier to organize digital images today.

Searching and indexing digital photos from your archives can be automated through the use of a Digital Asset Management program (ideal investment if you have thousands of photos).

If you need one for personal use and lighter requirements, you can opt for free photo management software or even photo editing apps that have file organizing functions.

2. Edit & Enhance Your Best Works

The reason that you don’t know how to edit photos is not a valid excuse. There are many photo editing programs available online which are so easy to use such as Pixlr, Photopea, and BeFunky. You don’t need to have an professional background to use them.

Some apps offer basic editing tools such as enhancement controls for color, brightness, contrast, and sharpening. Others provide more advanced editing functions such as effects, layers, and filters

Why should you edit your photos? If you plan to post them online they should at least be vivid images to get noticed. Editing can put the “wow” factor in you photos.

Another thing, you may find some of your best photos need just a bit of retouching to make them showroom-ready. Even some not-so-clear images may be improved with some sharpening. With photo editing you can decide which of your images are worth keeping in your collection or totally unsalvageable, deserving of the trash bin.

3. Transform Photos into Wall Art

Here’s something fun that you can do with your photos – turn them into artworks. There’s a trend now where fine art and even cartoons are used in ads, social media posts, and presentations.

The best thing is that you can do this easily with free photo to art conversion software such as Colorcinch (previously known as Cartoonize.net) and Lunapic.

These apps offer tons of options to transform photos into art of various styles – paintings, drawings, sketches, digital renderings, and more. What’s even remarkable is that the conversion process is automated and all it takes is one click.

Once you’re done with your creations, you can frame and hang these pieces on the wall. You’ll have your own home gallery in no time. Mind you, many people are interested in these types of wall art. You can sell these (to recover the cost of printing and framing) and earn on the side.

4. Create a Photo Blog

A photo blog is a great way to express yourself – through words and pictures. Maybe you are into landscape photography then you can start a blog with that as a theme.

Another idea is the popular photo-quotes. You add memorable messages and quotes into your best photos and showcase them in your blog. Put in short descriptions about your creation process and what inspires you.

There are numerous topics and themes you can explore. Stick to those that you have lots of photos of and truly interested in such as fashion, street scenes, or cooking and food.

There are several free blogging platforms and services to get you started. Some of the more popular include Tumbler, Blogger, and WordPress. You can even create a dedicated Facebook page and post photos and ideas there that follow a theme.

If it’s your first time, the question that pops up is – how do you start a photo blog? There are many things to consider and it would do you well to learn all you can about photo blogging.

5. Build an Online Gallery or Portfolio

Now that you’ve organized your photo collection and edited your best photos, you may want to showcase them online.

You can also opt to pick your best pictures, have them printed and arranged neatly in a portfolio album. Photography may not be your career but that doesn’t mean you can’t show to the world your most remarkable pictures. You can do that through your own digital portfolio or online gallery.

What’s the difference between a photo blog and a portfolio? A blog is updated regularly and is a purely online undertaking. It’s your virtual journal. A portfolio can be digital or printed and is a collection of your creative works.

You can start curating your pictures on free photo portfolio platforms. Some of the better known sites are Photo.net, Pixpa, and Portfoliobox. Of course, you may already be using Flickr.

6. Submit Them in Photo Contests

Here’s another way to “expose” your photos – submit them as entries to photo contests of which there are a lot. There are photo competitions organized by schools, companies, local businesses, online communities, cause-oriented groups, photography clubs and websites, etc. Take your pick!

What do you get from this activity? As mentioned earlier – exposure for you and your pictures. You may not know you have a knack for photography until people see your best works.

And the highest form of recognition by people of your works is when you are chosen as winner or picked as best in something. The prize can be cash, a trophy, a plaque or a spot in a photo exhibit. But winner or not, what matters is that you tried. That in itself is quite rewarding.

7. Join Stock Photo Agencies

Another venue for photo submission is a stock photo agency. You’ll also earn on the side. There are two categories of stock photography:

• Macrostock – an agency (such as Getty Images) exclusively sells your photo to a client at a premium price and you get the royalties. It goes without saying that you should be an established photographer to command a good price.
• Microstock – there are no royalties and you get paid much less, usually for every photo of yours that is downloaded. Some of the leading companies include Shutterstock, Dreamstime, and iStockPhoto.

Keep in mind that for microstock you need to submit lots of photos of the generic kind – children playing, family bonding, office workers, etc. These are needed by bloggers, marketers, online sellers, and students for their projects.

Consider this as a source of passive income and not as a career. This is where you can unload tons of your pictures – those that are well taken and the type that content creators look for – and earn from it.

8. Print Photos on Products and Sell Them

You could realize more revenues from your photos with this entrepreneurial undertaking. The print-on-demand approach allows you to have your pictures printed on products and sold on e-commerce platforms or your own online store.

Some of the most popular print-on-demand items include mugs, unisex t-shirts, children’s t-shirts, yoga pants, hoodies, and tote bags, among others.

If you decide to do all the chores – production, marketing, selling – be prepaid to invest in time, money, and effort. If you manage these well, the returns can be bigger.

On the other hand, you can unload all these tasks to an e-commerce service and simply get a cut from the sale of the printed products. The advantage of the print-on-demand is that you don’t need to keep an inventory of the products. Hence, it’s an efficient and low-risk investment.

Among the more notable print-on-demand services that you can tap are those of Printify, Printful, and Redbubble.

9. Design Templates using Photos

If you have some visual or graphic design background, you can try creating templates utilizing your photos. Nature, landscapes, seascapes, countryside and other serene scenes are great for photo-quotes.

Meanwhile, pictures of people are ideal for ads, posters, event invitations, collages, and presentations.

Templates are sort of customizable mock-ups that are used by graphic artists, designers, content creators, marketers, and brand specialists for their projects.

This is a specialized skill and creative professionals can spot quality work from less stellar creations. To brush up on your design skills, try using online graphic editors such as Canva, Adobe Spark or Design Wizard which offer free plans.

These platforms provide tools where you can use your photos to create templates for just about anything – social media posts, flyers, postcards, calendars, menus, photo books, and more.

10. Share Them as Free Images

Don’t expect monetary gains. You’re giving pictures for free. Why? You’re kind, generous, and follow your personal mantra that it’s better to give than to receive. Whatever your motivation, know that you are not alone. There are many others who are also good-hearted. That is why sites like Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, and many others abound and flourish.

People submit and share their images on these websites. Pictures there can be used with or without attribution. These are sites for photos with CC0 (Creative Commons License) where anyone can use images personally or commercially.

Now you could be helping individuals with no budget for microstock photos. They can be struggling students, designers or first time online retailers needing relevant photos. Being the benefactor can be a refreshing change.

Conclusion

Photos that you’ve already used and those lying around can be repurposed. You just have to be creative. Sure, discard and dispose of those that are beyond saving – blurry, unrecognizable pictures with no photographic value at all. They just fill up your disk or storage space.

Those that you’ve decided to retain should be useful and we’ve given you suggestions for that. The activities are enriching and the results satisfying if you put your mind to it and set aside some time.

Yes, it’s called light painting, a cool photographic technique which aims to utilize light into something that can be drawn, mainly by lower shutter speed of the camera that captures the artwork. Painters then use different kinds of light sources like flash light, cathode, LED keychain or even candle to ‘draw’ the light, thus pushing it to become a beautiful artwork.

So how does it look like? Witness it by your eyes. We’ve handpicked 35 light painting works from creative authors using different kinds of light sources to show you what light painting is capable of. Enjoy these works and make sure you won’t be blinded by the beauty of light itself!

Painting With Light

Bat(man) On Fire – Batman is back… with light painting. Both expression and use of lighting are badass.

Image source: Mina Mikhael

Bike – Nice use of color and lighting that brings out cinematic feel.

Image source: Sssampo

Blue Peter – What a badass worm with badass lighting. Awesome!

Image source: lichtfaktor.eu

Body Stretching – Overstretched, dude! Very unique approach used on this work, this painter got some creativity.

Image source: David Schlaich

Cécile Frémont – Perfect combination of body art and Arabic calligraphy light painting, simply wordless.

Image source: free.fr

dENiZEN 05 – Fantastic shot with cute artworks. The light streaks seem like they’ll taste good!

Image source: lichtfaktor.eu

dENiZEN 08 – A great example of showing how simple lines can create beautiful light painting artwork.

Image source: lichtfaktor.eu

Electric Guitar – Very nice shot and fantastic use of lighting, probably one of the most beautiful piece in this series.

Image source: Sean Rogers

Electric Guitar 2 – How distorted it is! Perfect use of light waves that brings out the electric feel to the guitar, the messy bed background does add up the effect too.

Image source: Dan Clark

Fabia Light – I believe even the ugliest car in the world can look epic by adding in this effect, cool work!

Image source: JogiART

Fire Dragon – The legendary twin-headed fire dragon. My god this work is freakin’ hot!

Image source: David Schlaich

Home Is Where the Light Is – I like the meaning of this work, and what makes this photo worthy is the large ‘O’ word synced up perfectly, which requires lots of effort and muscular memory to achieve that.

Image source: Wolcott Wilhelm

Inferno Horse – Another freakin’ hot work done by the same author who did the ‘Fire Dragon’. You got the epic nerve, dude.

Image source: David Schlaich

Light Girl Taking A Break – A fiery work with fiery technique, hat off to the painter.

Image source: JacquiJSB

Light Graffiti Car – Perfect angle and proportion of the light car, impressive work.

Marion Guillauteau – Another stunning combination of body art and Arabic calligraphy light painting.

Image source: Markbrown Photography

Max Ophuels Preis 02 – Charming neon-like effect. I’m wondering which kind of light tube is used to create this beautiful piece.

Image source: free.fr

Moon Set – A close look on the Arabic calligraphy light painting, simply awesome.

Image source: free.fr

Poésie – This is probably the best artwork to show off the beauty of Arabic calligraphy, I believe it can’t be done without the love and passion to the Arabic calligraphy.

Image source: free.fr

Starwars Vs Startrek 01 – I love this, with only 2 dots and 2 lines, they made the entire photo different.

Image source: lichtfaktor.eu

The Angel – The sparkling effect is so pleasing that it brings out the angel’s feel, amen.

Image source: Tom Paton

Thermodynamic Engineering – May the fire be with you. Phenomenal work.

Image source: Dennis Calvert

Image source: Vancouver Film School

Working Late – Elegant shot. Loved the color used in light painting, which suits the envinronment very well that I can literally feel some warmth from this artwork.

Image source: Thomas Rockstar

Reflection

If you ask me which is my favorite piece of these artworks, I will probably say all. Light painting requires extreme effort and perseverance to create stunning works, not to mention that the artist has to recreate the artwork completely if he failed on first attempt. This is what I can see during the collection, and made me respect them all.

We enjoy to showcase you inspirational artworks, but we enjoy more by knowing your favorite artworks in this post, so please do let us know about it in your comments!

Ekkachai Saelow is one such brilliant photographer who creates miniature wedding photos of couples. This showcase is so interesting that from pre-production to actual photos, you’ll enjoy every aspect of it. Let’s take a look.

#1

Here is a fun-loving couple that the photographer pictured as stuck in a thorny bush. You can see from the behind the scene images that the couple was even asked to give expression as if they’re in real trouble.

#2

This couple’s idea of the begining of love is being hanged by a barbed wire. The couple was first photographed as pulled by their collar and then merged with a simple image of a barbed wire.

#3

This cute couple chose to be shown as sitting on a little branch with the man hanging from it (obviously). You can see in the BTS photo how they actually produced this effect.

#4

This is a funny way to show that you’ll be with each other in thick and thin. Shown as standing in the middle of a roaring river as mini-humans, this photo will surely put a smile on your face.
