Boekie Woekie Post renderings

here are two images that got some post production work done to them. the image on the bottom shows the original images and the top is the adjusted images.

Placing books, i tried finding images of books and skewing them into place. However I found it a lot better to place some books and in modo and render them at the same angle as the image (if you have the file you can place the books and turn off all the textures to then merge your old image with your new books). I then went and got some book covers or other interesting images and skewed them onto the books. In addition I started colorizing the books to give them some extra color.

Other retouches such as exposure/ contrast changes helped lights up the space. Some blurring and lighting up was done to create the illusion of light.
