Hi Folks

I want to make portrait photographs of a friend into an icon style type photo. I wish the sort of religious / spiritual style of the mediterian countries and easern europe maybe russia. I’m sure I’ve seen something like this done before but cannot remember where.

I try to search for techniques to do this in Google etc but all the results when I search on ‘photoshop and icon’ bring up the type of computer icon fro program shortcuts and hyperlinks for webpages.

Can anyone help me whit a technique or know of a link to examples of where this has beeen done.

Thanks

Barny

Do you have any examples you can give? links to photos with the type of effect you’re shooting for? I guess I’m just a little confused on what you mean by "icon". Are you just talking about a really stylized photo?
