Creating medical illustrations & photo edits

My goal during this endeavor was to improve upon previous medical illustrations and photos previously shown in the first edition of Loren Fishman's book "Yoga for Osteoporosis: The Complete Guide" in time for his book's second edition. This would affect readers who don't know much about Yoga and how it can be helpful in relieving Osteoporosis pain by giving them more clarity and descriptiveness on what's happening to their bodies.

After doing some background research on what went wrong with the previous book and how to improve upon illustrations and photos I went straight to work. I made the illustrations first by discussing with Loren for each design what he wanted each illustration to demonstrate to his viewers. He provided feedback through email for each illustration until those were successfully completed. Loren then wanted me to remove the backgrounds of all the new photos taken for this new book edition as he wanted the main focus to be the demonstrator and the items they used to do yoga poses. I did an example background removal to make sure that was exactly what he wanted before removing the backgrounds of the huge stack of photos he sent me.

After my collaboration with Loren, I created 15 illustrations that effectively conveyed complex medical and anatomical concepts to diverse audiences. I also enhanced over 160 images through background removal, color correction, and image manipulation techniques. He was very happy with the results and we are currently waiting on the new edition to hit bookstores everywhere.
