Album Title: Nina-祝妳早日康復 (read: zhu ni zao ri kang fu), Model: 小布(Nina), Photographer: Edwin (me), Photo Editor: Edwin(me), Place: 士林官邸 (read: shi lin guan di), Date: 21st March 2009.

祝妳早日康復 means “wish you early recover / recover fast” – the title is very special since model (Nina) isn’t in fit condition. You can compare this album with “Lovely Girl” . Her face (cheek) maybe looked a little bit different (cheek a little bit bigger because of drug/medicine allergy). Actually I also retouched her cheek (remove dark area and reshape her cheek) to make it better and looked like original Nina, maybe my retouching skill isn’t excellent but at least I try my best to retouch her – I hope you can’t notice my retouching clearly. If you interesting about removing dark area you can see  my other tutorial here- and about reshaping her cheek, the idea is similar with this one.

You can see my simple illustration below – T = target, A & B  = photographer locations.

If you have plan to go to Taiwan during 20 February 2009 ~ 22 March 2009, I think you should go to Yang Ming Shan  because from 20 Feb 2009 until 22 March 2009 there is a famous annual festival – “Yang Ming Shan Flower Festival”. This place also the best place for refreshing – fresh air and beautiful scene – I love it. I took many photos there – then I made some photos to become my album “Sakura”. I also provide some documentary photos which I leave it unedited.
