<p>Hi!</p>

<p>Does anyone know how to achieve this photo effect and some online free tutorials to put this into practice? Or other similar photo style photographers?</p>

<p>What is the technique the photographer used to get this look and what steps do you think she followed?</p>

<p>You can see many other similar photos here:<br>

<p>Initially I would say small aperture for a shallow depth of field. Then Photoshop edited. Some lightening of skin tones of model on road and some colour enhancements.</p>

<p>A similar look can be achieved using film. Fuji Velvia E6 film and Polariser with 81A warm up filter and standard processing. Maybe some tweaking in Photoshop at the final edit.</p>

<p>Many of those photos appeared to have been hamfisted edits of small web sized JPEGs of photos made by Lisa Holloway. They're not a good representation of her work. The copies of copies are mushy, lacking in finesse, and inferior to the photographer's own originals.</p>

<p>Drag and drop those samples into any Google Image Search box and you'll find the original sources. In some cases the photographers discuss their techniques.</p>

<p>Or Google around for "lifestyle photography portrait actions" and similar terms. There are lots of tutorials on accomplishing these effects in Photoshop, Lightroom and other editors.</p>

<p>"Is this spam for the site where those photos are posted?"</p>

<p>It doesn't appear to be. The photo host site is just an alternative to Imgur, Photobucket, etc. Fairly commonly used, although some sites block that particular host.</p>

<p>There's no direct link to the original photographer, so it's not spam/SEO for her either. It appears to be a bunch of small web sized JPEGs someone lifted, re-edited (badly in some cases) and used to demonstrate their Photoshop actions or perhaps as an exercise, who knows.</p>

<p>yes, those are photos by Lisa Holloway, do a google search. <br>

She is active on a couple of photography forums, Fred Miranda and POTN (Photography on the Net), not sure about here. In some of the "people" section threads she shows a before and after image and explains her processing style and Photoshop techniques and equipment used - quite useful</p>
