Trans-Atlantic Couple Bridges Gap With Flickr and Photoshop

by Leila Brillson on May 30, 2009 at 09:10 AM



Welcome to the 21st century, where love knows no limits -- thanks to photo-sharing Web sites, that is. According to a profile in the Telegraph, aspiring British photographer Rosie Hardy met North Carolinian Aaron Nance, her professional photo retoucher boyfriend, through Flickr, where both participated in the Flickr 365 Days project.

Piquing each other's interest via the shared photo pool, they independently messaged each other about their similar styles -- allegedly on the same day. Romance wasn't far behind, and she snapped photos and he used his post production capability as a jumping off point, inspiring the two to start Photoshopping themselves as a couple, despite the ocean between them.

A year later, the pair have started their own photo company and -- with several trans-Atlantic visits -- have cumulatively spent almost five months together, in person. Four thousand miles, different countries and a seven year age difference (He's 25 and she's 18.) have been completely transcended thanks to photo manipulation. The result? Some of the eeriest, most romantic photography on either side of the Atlantic. [From: Telegraph.co.uk]
