ericf1 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Brandon, The second image from the LaChapelle site is a composite of several images as well as a meaningful amount of manipulation in post. The images from modelmayhem were also heavily processed with a lot of sharpening. All of the images started with the sound fundamentals of precise lighting and exposure in order to get the image(s) as close as possible to what the artist intended out of the camera. While the exact lens and type of lighting contributed to the images, it wasn't the primary ingrediant in the images you referenced. Not sure that this helps, but just my observation.

amanda___minnesota Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Here is another example of putting multiple images together to get a similar result... http://www.aftercapture.com/repository/articles/pdf/ac12_CirqueDuSoleil.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstarks Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Brandon, Eric's comments are spot on. Many great photographers have embraced digital, but they still try to get it "right" in the camera first. Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
