Calvin Hollywood is a photo artist from Heidelberg, Germany who combines photography and image editing in a most imaginative way. His personal style is characterized by the hyper sharpness, high contrasts, and almost painted look of his photos (http://www.calvinhollywood-blog.com/portfolio/).

Digital editing plays an important role in his photographic work, but Hollywood emphasizes getting the shot right from the start. He considers lighting very important, but the surroundings and the model’s styling are also key and he always tries to factor textures and details into the shot.
