maijaathena Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Fellow PN-er, Justin Grant, is a master of lighting and retouching. You should check out his PN portfolio and professional website. http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=302487 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mg Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Harsh light - barely diffused or not at all - hitting either oily make-up base ot silver make-up fondation will produce most of the effects you see on these pictures. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_stiles Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 The light actually looks decently soft to me-- even if a higher ratio and split lighting was used; the shadow does not end abruptly. The B&W has the gril in silver make-up. The strong specular high lights are from a reflective property in the make up being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstarks Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 These are great shots (I'm reminded of Matthew Jordan's use of hard light) and I think from a lighting standpoint they're okay. As mentioned some makeup on the shiny bits would help with the retouching later. Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pboraschi Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Marc is right, I see two types of lights here: on some an umbrella and on others a potrait light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricklavoie Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 for the ligth i would say, umbrella, spot flash, and big and close softbox. for the retouching i would say, a lot in postprod..no special technique..just regular high end stuff that pro do : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
