With years of art education and self-taught photography skills, Mandy carefully blends each picture using over 75 layers in Photoshop to make the images look as real as possible. She even works with stock photos for dogs that were rescued as adults, matching markings and features to imagine what they might have looked like as puppies. Mandy’s work has become so popular that she now has a waitlist that books months in advance, showing just how much people love her unique way of celebrating their furry friends. More info: Instagram | Facebook | seeingdoubleedits.com Discussing the most challenging edits she’s tackled, Mandy shared, “I wouldn’t say there’s just one ‘most challenging edit I’ve ever done.’ Each has its unique challenges. Some of the most time-consuming elements are reflections followed by harsh, full-sun ground shadows. There is no button I can push to generate a realistic shadow or reflection so I create them from scratch. If they are not done correctly, it throws the realism of the edit off, so just one reflection can take me at least 1.5-2 hours to get right before starting any blending work at all. I’m always most proud of these end results because I really had to draw on my creativity and understanding of shape, depth, and light.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
