Removal of localized gray hair: $10.00
Change hair color: $30.00
Add hair to bald heads: $30.00 to $50.00 depending upon how much hair replacement is needed.

If the needed manipulations are not too extreme I can also provide general portrait facial age reduction for a flat $100.
These fees are for the manipulations only. Image printing is an additional charge.
Below is an example of a general age reduction manipulation for the face.
Simple Photo Manipulations that include the changing or altering of clothing.
Fees for this type of manipulation range from $30 to $100.
Below are examples of clothing manipulations.
This woman saw a very expensive hat in an advertisement and wanted to see how she would look wearing the hat before she actually bought it. This type of manipulation is $100 because it involved merging a second photo with the original.
In this next example a team player from a little league football team needed his plain white shirt to look like the team jersey. This type of manipulation is $30.
Major Photo manipulations & Extreme Transformations ranging from $100 to $1000.
If you are a fan of science fiction, mythology or fantasy related subjects you can also have more extreme transformations done to your photos. This service includes everything from placing your face on someone else's body to transforming you into your favorite alien or fantasy creature.
Because this service is more artistic in nature and time consuming the rate for this service varies depending upon how elaborate the manipulation requested is.
Below is a list of the most commonly requested manipulations and fees;
Altering appearances of facial portraits alone with no background alterations ranges from $100 to $500.
Placing a face onto another body with no other alterations (such as placing a face onto an existing character in a movie or TV Show Poster) is a flat $100.
Full body alterations (such as transforming a person into an alien or fantasy creature with no background in the image) is a flat $500.
Full body alterations including a detailed background is a flat $1000.
Creating a composite image with multiple persons and a detailed background is $1000 plus $500 for each additional person added to the composite.
Please note that the fees listed above are for clients that want to own the full exclusive rights to the finished images. Discounts are available for clients that allow the reproduction and resale of their images to the public.
The above fees are for manipulations only. Image printing is an additional charge.
Below are some examples of before and after transformations;
In this example a woman was transformed into a Fairy from mythology complete with antennae and butterfly wings. This type of manipulation was $500 since this particular image is also for sale in my Science Fiction Art Gallery. The model shown here has signed a release allowing me to resell the manipulation I created. If a client wanted to own the exclusive rights to the finished image this type of manipulation would be $1000.
In this next example a young woman wanted to look like her favorite alien from a science fiction TV show. She sent me two photos to transform. These types of manipulations would be $500 if the client wishes to have exclusive rights to the finished versions. If the client allows reproduction and resale of the finished images the rate could be as low as $100 for this type of manipulation.
In the next sample a Dentist wanted to become a super hero vanquishing demons of decay. This manipulation was $500.
In this final sample a client wanted to see his baby daughter riding a realistic looking Dinosaur. The client sent me the photo of his daughter to use as the template. This manipulation was $250.
Photo Merging starting at $50 per image with a $100 minimum.
This service is well suited for clients that have family group photos that were missing some of the family members when the original photo was taken. This service is also good for those that wish to see themselves with a completely different background or even posing with their favorite celebrity.
Below are some examples of Photo Merging.
The following images are a before and after.
In this example of Photo-Merging a Little League Baseball team was missing two of its players in the original team photo. The client sent photos of the two missing players and asked to have them merged with the original team photo shown here.
As you can see in the finished photo below the missing players are now at the sides of their teammates. This would be a $150 photo-merging plus printing.
In the next example of Photo-Merging a client sent me a pair of old and degraded Wedding photos that she wanted repaired and merged with desert landscape backgrounds. The originals were wallet sized. These are before and after results. The finished versions were printed as 8x10 on matte paper. Because the originals had to be repaired and then enlarged for printing purposes each of these Photo-Mergings would be $250 each plus the print cost.
In this next example a client wanted me to merge him and a friend with a photo of some old ruins with his business sign on top of the old ruins.
Here is the finished project with elements of all three photo above merged together as a single composite. This would be a $150 Photo merging plus print.
This last example is the finished image done for a client that sent me two digital stock photos purchased from a stock photo site and were then merged together to form this composite. The text was added at the request of the client. I can only show the finished image because the original stock photos used are copyrighted and cannot be shown here as individual photos. This type of photo-merging would normally be $100.
The image below is the finished composite.
Please note that during any photo-merging or photo manipulation projects there will be surcharges if the client decides to change or substitute images after the project has already begun.
