When shooting on a gray background, the nice thing is it is easily detachable in Photoshop to subtly adjust. Here I went for quite a bit of subtle post-processing : ProRetouch from Totally Rad (not affiliated but I love their subtle actions), then in the second pass a Sean Archer action. The latter gives some subtle extra lights and less smooth background (actually requiring you to more or less shoot on a 50% gray backdrop) . With lovely model Simone.

This one is also not really recent, but I’m glad to be able to post it nevertheless. My studio is not that big so it’s always a bit of a hassle to get the angles and lighting right, without everything getting a bit in the way. So it’s always good to see something nice come out of it!

It’s kind of silly weather today here in Holland; rain and sun that overlap every now and then. Not really cold, but not great to go outside as well. So it was a good time to go through old photographs and shoots.
This picture thus is really an old one, with some new paint. I shot this back in November, 2014, with Renate standing in front of the camera. I took it through Photoshop and Nik to accentuate her light hair, to brighten her eyes a little and to bring out her body a bit better.
So even though the picture is 1,5 years old, the postprocessing is from today.

This one was shot in January, 2016 of Maaike. A bit experimental with the light placed almost right above her. Doing that is a bit difficult in my studio with some light wires being in the way, but it was worth it. 😉

This one is a bit older already; not the girl I mean but the shoot. 😉
Funny how you can go back to older shoots and find pictures that should have been published. This one has Nik SilverEfex Pro for postprocessing, a bit of noise, and in fact an inverted vignette in the middle region, which I don’t use much.
Also, I’ve lifted the brightness with a curve so that black is dark gray, and brightness only starts showing at dark gray, so her dress fades off a bit into nothingness. Love the dreamy look of Deirdre.

Also a photo of a shoot some time ago, this time postprocessed using Nik’s free effects filters (for Lightroom & Photoshop, amongst others). Thanks to Chanelle for posing.

A week or two ago a dear friend came by, Corine. She’s around 8 months pregnant, almost due. We took a couple of photographs of her, some in combination with her boyfriend.
