Self-portraits by Rosie Hardy, or Using GIMP for work and loving it

For this showcase post we focused on the self-portrait series of pictures Rosie has been taking for a while. This is something you don’t see in portfolios of GIMP users on a daily basis.

Here is a timelapse for the picture above:

Editing and compositing techniques that she uses in GIMP are explained in her “Image Transformation” DVD course.
