 This is my last photo of my matrix series. I hope y'all enjoyed them.


Photo specs:
1) Done in a studio setup with a white painted wall as a backdrop.
2) I used 4 strobes. Two infront at 45 degrees and two behind above her at 45 degrees.
3) We used a real machine guns (unloaded).
4) I shot this at F-11 and a shutter of 125 at 100 ISO.
5) model grunged up to look a bit rough and mean (she is really a sweetey in real life)
6) She was holding these guns...I was impressed they are heavy

Processing techniques used:
1) did levels at each channel (RGB)
2) DId curves to find true whites and blacks
3) did selective Coloring and darkened the reds a little
4) Dodge the face and burn the hair to bring those out a bit more.
5) made the background pure white by using levels and layers
7) Did selective saturation and selective colors
8) Sharpened the eyes

amazing photo, it would have been flawless if the red&black stripes weren't there, they don't fit in

I am starting to get paranoid that she is after me....

Nicely lit. Symmetry works very well here.

I like this too - but I'm convinced it needs to be way bigger to be appreciated.

As always, your portraits of this nature are spot on in lighting and in emotion. So very well posed.
