Skin Deep by graemestevens

Skin Deep

I have been told that for good skin one should exfoliate once a week, so I thought now would be as good a time as any to test that theory. So far it seems to be going quite well.
Holy $%@*!! Wicked cool and sick. Fav!
October 23rd, 2014  
What Amanda said, and fav too.
October 23rd, 2014  
@amandal Forgot to tag you too
October 23rd, 2014  
Holy Crap! I'll be back
October 23rd, 2014  
Sam
HAHAHAH that is brilliant. You look like a pizza face! Careful, people may want to eat you :) FAV
October 23rd, 2014  
duck! how! wow! - looks like exfoliating contributes to weight loss too - well I am ...............................................yep!
October 23rd, 2014  
Gross. Well done.
October 23rd, 2014  
Can we now call you "pizza face"??!! Lol!!
Seriously, though, have you given any thought to getting a cat? Mine licks my face on a regular basis, and I call her my "Feline Exfoliator". Works rather well, and saves me tons of money!
October 23rd, 2014  
WOW...that is very disturbing...in a very cool awesome way! Thanks for the heads up tho...I am definitely staying away from exfoliating with battery acid if that is what will happen!!! :D
October 23rd, 2014  
oh i can't look at that!!! eeeeew. But it IS very clever!
October 23rd, 2014  
@brigette Look away! Look away! And thanks very much :)
@skjgraphics Thanks very much - I must have sensitive skin...
@panthora You can call me anything you like - as for the cats, it will never work. We have two retired/rescued greyhounds so cats don't tend to last long around here...
@kt8ird Thank you very much :)
@annied Thank you very much...are you saying I'm fat???
@gigiflower No one would want to eat me...trust me. And thank you kindly :)
@bill_fe Thanks very much :)
@amandal Thank you kindly, most appreciated
October 23rd, 2014  
@graemestevens hahahahaha no never!
October 23rd, 2014  
Well no wonder people scream when I come out of the spa..I should check the mirror:). This is super cool gross! Nicely done Graeme...:)
October 23rd, 2014  
@annied That speedy response may just have saved you from horrific retribution.
October 23rd, 2014  
@nanderson They scream when I come out of the spa too. I should probably get dressed first ;) And thank you very much :)
October 23rd, 2014  
Brilliant and disturbing!
October 23rd, 2014  
@graemestevens LMAO - I suffer from early onset but am not stupid - at last last thing I remember I'm not - ha
October 23rd, 2014  
at least last - although last last has a ring to it
October 23rd, 2014  
A very fitting image as I just sit down to watch Walking Dead. Extremely creative.
October 23rd, 2014  
I have absoloutly no idea how you did this, but it is so cool and so creative, as well as totally gross, but I love it. Fav
October 23rd, 2014  
You're a good photographer. Keep up the good work. Good luck
October 23rd, 2014  
Very creative :-)
October 23rd, 2014  
Oh me, oh my.....yes....startling and gross and extremely well done.
October 23rd, 2014  
I think, you may be OVER exfoliating, just a tad. What is that meaty pasta sauce? Gross and fav for creativity and execution!
October 23rd, 2014  
There really are no words. Except, I'm glad I didn't have lasagna for dinner tonight!
October 23rd, 2014  
I think I prefer you're landscape shots.... Nice one mate, great editing Fav
October 23rd, 2014  
Uh. Wow. Creepy but extremely well done.
October 23rd, 2014  
pretty gross, but find it very difficult to look away. I think I'm going to scroll back up and look some more.
October 23rd, 2014  
@tammyputney Thanks very, just the look I was going for :)
@annied At least lastly least last
@bigugly Thank you and as always I am pleased to be of assistance
@ukandie1 Thank you very much indeed, much appreciated...
@d_lopes Thank you very much :)
@shawnasays Thanks very much :)
@aecasey Thank you kindly, appreciated :)
@eyeamlisa Thanks very much - I'm not telling what this is but it was delicious after I'd taken the shot ;)
@juliedduncan I don't know what to say...there are no words ;)
@longexposure Thanks very much :)
@mamamayerle Thanks very much - just the look I was going for :)
@jsw0109 Excellent - that's what I was aiming for :)
October 23rd, 2014  
i shall have nightmares now... thank you... and fav!
October 23rd, 2014  
@graemestevens last lest least lost
October 23rd, 2014  
@northy You're welcome and thank you straight back :)
@annied Good lord. now say it drunk...
October 23rd, 2014  
At least you didn't light your face on fire! :). This is NOT a suggestion that you do this. Seriously, your editing skills are on fine display here and I am genuflecting. You nailed this shot and it is highly creative.
October 23rd, 2014  
@rosiekerr Thanks very much - I have already tried to set my head on fire, about 3 months ago. It didn't go well and there was a week or so with no portraits as I waited for regrowth...
October 23rd, 2014  
@graemestevens just did ha ha
( ok - I am not drunk yet - give me an hour or so )
October 23rd, 2014  
@annied Yes, me too...can't wait for this day to be over, it's been far to busy and my clients have had the cheek to expect things of me. I'm in a state of outrage.
October 23rd, 2014  
@graemestevens Mr Fenske @bill_fe was feeling the same way - how dare they expect you to work at work - it is horrifying if things are coming to that - *throwing hand across brow*
October 23rd, 2014  
@annied They're just lucky that they insist on paying me exorbitant amounts of money or I'd storm out!
October 23rd, 2014  
Lou
This does exactly what it's supposed to do - freak me out yet keep me starting. Expertly put together, too. Great job Graeme. How'd you do this, if I may ask?
October 23rd, 2014  
I have no words! I can't look away - it's like a train wreck. Where do your ideas come from, I wonder? Amazing editing!
October 23rd, 2014  
This will scare all small children and old ladies Graeme...
October 23rd, 2014  
It's a vast improvement
October 23rd, 2014  
@graemestevens well that's right - storm you would - with a flounce
October 23rd, 2014  
FAV! I love this stuff!!
October 23rd, 2014  
Brilliant processing. It certainly is important to exfoliate. Just remember to lather rinse and repeat.
October 23rd, 2014  
BRILLIANT, Graeme...Fav
October 23rd, 2014  
Big fav! Wow, processing as an art form. Love it.
October 23rd, 2014  
OMG! Scary but brilliant too.
October 23rd, 2014  
Oh MAN! COOL! I needed a jolt! Fav
October 23rd, 2014  
Too early in the morning today..... Very very very cool. I may need to up my daily face care routine.
October 23rd, 2014  
Powerful powerful stuff and so darn well executed! You´re the master mr Stevens!
October 23rd, 2014  
wow! very creative! i can feel my breakfast coming back up! must be a fav!
October 23rd, 2014  
Great photo and a fantastic edit.
October 23rd, 2014  
Get me my moisturiser please! It's too early to view so why the heck can't I take my eyes off it!!! You're a bad influence. I shall have to discipline you, severely!
October 23rd, 2014  
OMG Graeme!!!!!! This is so gross but so brilliantly done lol
October 23rd, 2014  
@ceilidh I look forward to being gently whipped with a damp piece of celery for having the effrontery to offend your delicate sensibilities ;)
@chippy1402 Thanks very much :)
@andrewkru Thanks very much, sorry about the breakfast...
@susale Thank you very much, too damned kind :)
@newbank Sorry about that but thank you very, very, very much indeed :)
@mzzhope Thank you so much :) Better than coffee?
@dibzgreasley Thank you very much...going into town like this I think ;)
@jess1204 Thank you very much, always appreciated
@tonygig Thank you very much indeed :)
@karlow75 Thanks for the tips...maybe the repeat part is where I went wrong...
@mikegifford Thanks very much, much appreciated
@annied I do like a good flouncy storm
@terryliv I think it's a good look for me...professional yet casual
@julzmaioro Excellent. I might do this at the supermarket ;)
@tabarlett Thank you very much...as for my ideas, mostly from music, sometimes a thought just happens...usually in the shower of all places...
@louuncouth thank you very much indeed....as yet I don't have photoshop, only LR. Step one was to buy a zip and use double sided tape to stick it to my face. Step two was to mix some tomato sauce (again) with white bread until it's gone "fleshy" and apply to the face delicately. Step three...take photo. Step four was a hefty LR session. Quite pleased with this one :)
October 23rd, 2014  
Nice that you did not do this before the anniversary. Cool shot.
October 23rd, 2014  
@leanne333 Thank you very much :)
@yaorenliu Thanks very much - if I'd done it before the anniversary she would have just rolled her eyes and carried on!
October 23rd, 2014  
I would have to say gross. But it is so well done. Amazing.
October 23rd, 2014  
@rustymonkey Thank you very much, always appreciated :)
October 23rd, 2014  
Haha, even more funny because I read your reply on my post. It's actually disgusting and I must click it away before my colleagues see it :-)
You're definitely an out of the box thinker!
October 23rd, 2014  
@overalvandaan Thanks very much...I think ;)
October 23rd, 2014  
Whoa! Even I lover of horror movies can not look at that one long! Rob Zombie would be proud of you on this one! Brilliant!
October 23rd, 2014  
@creativefool thanks very much indeed :)
October 23rd, 2014  
I can count on your photos to elicit an 'ick' factor and fascinate at the same time. This one certainly does it!
October 23rd, 2014  
Oh my goodness was all she wrote :))
October 23rd, 2014  
@taffy I shall take that as a compliment and thank you accordingly ;)
@hermann Thank you was all he said :))
October 23rd, 2014  
Now I look again I am amazed by your eyes and eyebrows they are doing different things. I perhaps shouldn't blame you, I may be coming down the sickness bug doing the rounds of our school and community...
October 23rd, 2014  
@newbank you poor thing :( And I've always had the ability to make my eyebrows and eyes do different things - it's a family trait and if you have a rubber face you may as well use it!
October 23rd, 2014  
@graemestevens I have no need to do anything now other than sit on a sofa for three hours till first child of three that needs collecting today needs collecting... Great family trait.
October 23rd, 2014  
@newbank Time for yourself is time...well, for yourself. Enjoy those three hours!!!
October 23rd, 2014  
@graemestevens enjoy and feeling like I am going to puke up everywhere any moment are quite the same in my book.
October 23rd, 2014  
@newbank I see your point. On that note I'm off to bed - be well!!!
October 23rd, 2014  
Oh dear! Zip it up Graeme. Fav
October 23rd, 2014  
Graeme - I'm eating my dinner! Still appreciate the art though
October 23rd, 2014  
Holy Moley. I am speechless.
