No Lucis or other plugins here, Rene explained that he under-exposed by 2 stops (measuring on the sky) and used 2 lights (probably monolights) to lit himself, one from the front (and probably below) and and the second one from behind (to his right). Intended or not, it is apparent that the latter provided additional lighting to his left side by reflecting in the sliding glass door. He then dodged/burnt and partially desaturated the red channel, that's it. The result is obviously stunning. The message is the one we all know but tend to forget so often: proper lighting and exposure is what really counts. |

hi fellas.
thanks for the support,
well here it is, many are going to be disapointment with this:
pp was desaturate red tones , my face was red . then dodge and burn and finally sharpen.
the hdr look is cause i sub exposed the sky 2 steps to mke it darker. oh and i also used a polarizer
the lightning is he key mighty dpc friends.
lets spend or money on lightning!! |

| A few days ago I saw a French film, Banlieue 13 is the name, and this image just reminded me of the movie. The guy in the movie there is full of tattoos and fights to protect his neighbourhood by jumping from building to building (I couldn't see whether he had a spider's toatto). Anyhow, if he had a camera, he'd look just like you. I enjoyed the film, and I'm enjoying your photo. I hope I can remember this longer than the film, though. |
