I used the same settings for each photo, but the first one I focused on her hand and the gun. The second I focused on her face so that her hand was blurry. I edited both in Camera Raw: I lightened, added contrast, sharpened, bumped up the vibrance and exposure. ...

I shot these photos in Macro Mode. I then adjusted the Original image using and Adjustment Layer Levels. Then I placed the Texture image on top of the Original and lower the opacity. After I lowered the opacity I applied a mask on the Texture image and removed the texture from the bottle and the hat and then lower the opacity even more on other areas of the background.

Read MoreHigh Dynamic Range
This was so much fun, because I have never done HDR before. I took these photos using my Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB). Each photo was taken using my tripod and self-timer so I had the exact same photo with, but just different exposures. I set my exposure to be -2, 2, +2. Then I pulled all images into Dynamic Photo to combined them into one Photo, that way you see the textures and contrast of the three photos all in one.

Read MoreEnhancements
On my enhancement, I picked my favorite pictures that did not have very good lighting so I could challenge myself and improve my editing skills. The first photo, Amy, I first added an Adjustment Levels layer to bump up the contrast and darken the mid tones. I then used the Stamp tool, the Brush, and the Blur tool to clean up and soften her skin. I then selected her eyes and used the Levels tool to brighten them. I then lower the saturation to the whole photo. The second photo, I applied a Match Color to the photo, I choose another photo that had better coloring and applied it to...
