Jacket

bw, jacket, kelly, lowkey

This one from Kelly was originally a lot harsher in contrast. I took 3 different variations in Lightroom, exporting each to Photoshop and making a mix of the three for the jacket, Kelly’s head and her chest. This way the light balance was a lot softer, and I liked that look better in this case, instead of having a really high-contrast look (do note that it still has a lot of contrast).

The wind machine gave some life to her hair, the slanted look also adds some dynamics.

I’ve been away for a little while, skiing in the French Alps, but back now so here’s another picture of Kelly from a few weeks back.

A few images from a shoot from last Saturday with Kelly. Hard light, softer light, it was nice to experiment a bit. Actually used a second light again in some shots.

Another one from Kelly. This time I tried some lens blur, masked out to keep the face in focus. Added some gradient adjustment layer to get a warmer look. Raw photographs from the camera are only half of the product. 😉

Kelly sitting in front of my wall. My studio really has 2 spots where I can take my pictures; a side where I have my paper backgrounds (where I mostly just use either black or white; white becomes gray if you take care of your lighting).

The other side is the wall (my Pinterest account has a special section dedicated to it). It’s white, has a corner and is perfect for sitting photos like this. I want to add some kind of boarded section though to create a real corner, that would give some more options.

I like the action here, something is happening, she’s putting on (or taking off?) her shoes. The slant is not subtle, but I like it this way.

Here’s another one from last Monday. Blonde hair gives nice highlights. Love her expression.

highkey, kelly

Yesterday I had Kelly in front of the camera. Tried some high-key, which mostly actually only became apparent in Photoshop. Desaturated quite a bit, and raised the black end using a Curves adjustment layer to get that low-contrast look.
