Here’s an older one from Felicia back in November, 2015.

I revisited the shoot pictures, and even though the placing of Felicia is ‘off’ compared to general rules (she’s to the left of the image, while normally she would be more to the right of the image), I still like her soft expression and collection of ornaments.

color grading, felicia, indoor

Now & then I just have to mess with the background. 😉

This one was originally very clean; I added a soft vignette, then as I tried to add a light area coming from the left, my brush misbehaved and there were spots and larger areas and it all turned out a bit cloudy, Christmassy. I added a wee bit of rain (if that comes through after the compression), drove most of the image towards blue and raised the lightness to get rid of the black and insert some floaty feeling to match the cloudy background.

I like it, it’s dreamy. I like dreamy.

This one was shot recently with Felicia; an emotional shot was already posted last month. I like this shot because of the strength in her look.

This experiment has been an idea for over a year, and finally I’ve been able to make it come true with dear Felicia. A very emotional picture. I realize it’s a type of photography that you may or not appreciate, but I love the harshness, the roughness and the vulnerability that it displays.

Here’s another one from Felicia, from a shoot I did with here a couple of weeks ago. It’s seen quite a bit of colorgrading layers.

Another one from Felicia. Somehow black & white never works with that red hair. 🙂 The background was originally white, but moved towards pink with some Levels adjustment layers in Photoshop, combined with a bit of masking.

Another one from Felicia. The original just had the lights going through her hair, but I tried adding the out-of-focus lights, and I liked it better than with a black background.

Yesterday I had a shoot with someone new to me, from a town nearby. She’s different, crazy and beautiful. 😉
