How to get this "look"

Recommended Posts

<p>Hi guys, I've been looking at pictures of Mick Rock, Ryan McGinley and Guilles Larrain and noticed some of them have a very particular look that I'd like to get. Pretty sure Mick's and Guilles' photos were made with film, and McGinley's studio shots are supposedly all digital.<br>

So yeah, I'd love your to know your input about what kind of lighting and postprocessing (film and digital) can be done to get this look. <br>

Here's the link so you can check them out. Thanks a bunch!</p>

<p>You didn't even respond to a similar thread on the same photographers back in April... http://www.photo.net/portraits-and-fashion-photography-forum/00dDG8</p>

<p>I can't tell if you're really serious or just spamming for imgur.com.</p>

<p>Here's my answer. White balance and some HSL and you're done. That's how I see how to get that look.</p>

<p>Quite simple to find a post you were active in that you lost track of by clicking on the "Forum Postings" number in your PN My Workspace or Profile just as I did to find that previous thread you started and didn't respond to.</p>

<p>And the reason I started to suspect that this was spamming for imgur.com is because that link to that specific gallery of images has been posted at least 5 times in the past year or so. But I couldn't remember the other poster's names, but it doesn't really matter because anyone can post under a different name under a different account as long as they use a different email associated with the new name and start the same thread as if it's a different person.</p>

<p>So you might want to stick around and get involved posting like others here so we know you're for real. </p>

<p>Further investigation on that "Speedlooks" link took me to Adobe SpeedGrade and I found some info that might help you color grade with film looks coming up with these discussions searching using the term <em>"can adobe speedgrade be used on Raw still images" </em>which gave me these...</p>

<p>That's great Tim! Thank you very much again. <br>

I'd like to know if anyone thinks I could get this look by using film and pushing it a bit? Perhaps using Portra 160 and pushing it 3 stops to 1600 ISO? <br /><br />Been investigating a lot and I think that could possibly give the "rembrandt" look that I see in these pics (perhaps I'm the only one hehe). Anyway, I'm going to experiment a bit with it and post my results soon! If anyone has any input please do comment! <br>

Thanks!</p>
