Imagic Digital Imaging

I’m starting business school this fall and decided to get a professional head shot done, since it seemed like others in my class already had them from prior jobs.
I purchased a groupon for jcp portrait studio and was only mildly happy with the results, definitely wouldn’t have used the photos without additional editing.
I took my photo cd to walmart, cvs, Walgreens, and kinkos looking to add a cool shadowy effect to my photo, to make it look less like a jcp photo (jcp told me this was okay, since I wasn’t using the images for any commercial purpose). Kinkos said they’d be able to help but it would cost $ 30+. Luckily the guy at the counter kindly referred me to a local small business (iMagic) to get the job done cheaper. Thank you Kinkos, I’m impressed with that move and still use you all the time for everything you CAN do for me!
I called Michael at iMagic to ask if he may be able to help– once I even called after 5 pm and he was still working, even though his store front was closed for the evening! IMagic is located in a tiny office building immediately south of the Louisiana exit on I-​40, first floor, had no trouble finding it.
Even though I needed help with something a little narcissistic (voluntary head shots, hah), he was totally helpful and offered serious advice from his experience taking and editing model/​actor head shots. I saw a black backdrop in his office so I think that is a service you can have done here too start to finish.
I couldn’t be happier with the results! I will post the before and after pics so you can see what a huge improvement he made– this is how I imagined the photo looking in the first place.
We had a nice conversation while we worked on the photo and when it was time to pay, he offered the edited digital image free as a good luck gift for starting school! He was really quick with Photoshop and knew how to use it to it’s full potential– I’ve messed around with it on my own and had no idea how to use the tools he did. I’d definitely recommend this place for photo editing, as that seems to be a talent of his. But also saw some graphic design projects in progress so next time you’ve got a project involving printing, imaging, or design, support this awesome local business and pay IMagic a visit!
