So yesterday was the typical day of run and gun shooting and having a great time talking with with all the students here at #PSW. One place I stopped by yesterday was the Wescott photo shoot both that had some amazing models and great lighting setup providing a walk up an shoot scenario that few could pass up. The theme it seemed yesterday (at least in my twisted head) was Alice in Wonderland. I snapped a few quick shots and below is what I came up with…
The Red Queen was a fun shot, finished the image using a process I haven’t used in a while inside of Color Efex Pro. It was a combination of Tonal Contrast, Glamour Glow, and Dynamic Skin Softener combined in CS4 working in the image as a smart object so I could stack the filter on top of one another and make minor adjustments as needed to get the final effect…
Since this was Alice, this is my White Queen. The effect on this one was similar to the one above the only difference was in the Dynamic Skin Softener, the values were adjusted for skin tones and I used the eye dropper to select what I felt as a good mid-range tone so that the skin would be effected as uniformly as possible..
