Favour to ask- improve photo of me with Nick Cave

dinneenp

Hi,
So I met Nick Cave and got a cameraphone photo with him. Conditions weren't ideal, window blind up. (The stewardess suggested to close it and retake but Nick Cave said "It is done."

I also got autographs from the band so want to frame the photo, autographs, wristband from the festival (NOS Primavera, Porto).

Could anyone please improve this in colour and black and white? (Not sure which I'll use yet) It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Pa

He looks really pleased to have met you.

I know! And don't blame him; I interrupted him on the flight. Still he didn't say no. When I first met him in the airport I just asked for autograph, thought I'll leave the selfie out. But then was dwelling on it, I'm a massive fan and thought the lot framed with a photo would look much better.

I'm totally imagining Nick Cave saying that right now in a Nick Cave voice. I'd say it stopped the whole process dead :-D

Might want to swivel it around too, unless you put your Adidas t-shirt on inside out!

Here's just photoshop doing an automatic jobbie at it. I'm sure others can do much better but hey...

I don't think any amount of Photoshop skill can change that :pac:

i remember reading an interview with nick cave years ago (probably after henry's dream), where the interviewer asked him what he liked most about ireland. his response was that every second person stopped him when he was walking down the street here to say to him 'you must love ireland. everyone just leaves you alone here'.

A quick conversion using LR, PS and SE Pro.

But seeing as you asked if we could improve it

The effect of the light on Nick is actually pretty cool.

I knew he had a melodramatic air about him in music videos but he looks downright Tom Waits mode there great artist thanks for sharing.

Well, I was interrupting a conversation on a flight so don't blame him. He could have said no.
Think I'll use the B&W-thanks.

I don't think I'd stand a chance anyhow.
I had to google who Nick Cave was!
