I'm in photographic/photoshop awe. Truly breathtaking imagery and unique post-processing. Tons of celebs, too. Worth the wait.

WOW, you aint kidding. That first guys stuff is really cool. Id love to know how he gets that cartoonish look with the rappers in those rooms. Excellent link!

Hey PDG, was doing some research on the techniques this guy uses. From what i gathered he uses coral painting program. Others have accomplished similar results in photoshop but no tutorials to be found. I just love that look!

It is a weird look, (but I like it)... like a cross between digital art and photography.

The more i look and study his images the more i think its purely photoshop. Ive been trying to immatate that look (unlike me ftr) by useing a very small amount of lens blur on a seperate layer and switching between blending modes. Im close but not!

O.K, can someone tell me how in the hell this guy gets this affect? Im going nuts trying to figure it out. Come on you photoshop masters, somebodys know something here. I offer a challenge to those interested. Who can come up with something similar? I know i cant :dunno:

I've been trying for a while...even tried contacting sacha...in face, that's how I found this site, googling for him. However he gets his results, people definately like it, and it's hard to reproduce.

I am guessing that most of it is in the photography, very contrasty, and most likely some of th ecolour portraits are black and white. Whatever his technique there are some striking images.

Ive been experimenting with a cartoon action and im finding a very similar result as sachas work. Only thing is with mine im finding slight sharpening halos and blurring halos in highlights. He obviously has a different way of going about his results. Yes, very impressive.
