parallel ll perspectives With Catherine Restivo & JQ Gaines – Fourth Edition
We are positive that you’re all going to love this latest parallel II perspectives column article by Catherine Restivo and JQ Gaines. This is the fourth edition to their brand new and very popular Column ‘parallel ll perspectives’ and this time they use a wonderful image, taken by Catherine through her car windscreen/shield whilst stopped at traffic lights in New York City.
Parallel ll perspectives is about using one image and seeing how it can be aped in different ways to create two completely diverse overall images. We have created two separate screen shows of both of their images along with their own individual tutorial audio to demonstrate this entirely. We really hope you enjoy this wonderful column, many thanks to Catherine and JQ for their excellent work.
We have also included still images of each shot too with apps used and links to the app store incase you feel inspired to try some yourself.

The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art.

Wow! Just W O W!!!! First of all, this image all it its own is really fantastic; talk about your perfect timing Cat! Mercy he’s handsome. It was great to see how you both chose to attack the processing on this one . . . and now I’m thinking I should start using my iPad, which is a first generation . . . actually I’m not even sure where it is (under a pile of laundry probably). Please, please agree to work further with this one because it’s really a gem! Love it! Wonderful work once again you two! xo
