kslonaker 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Still waiting on the wig to arrive...she's bald right now, so had to add a scarf. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Trying lighting on my new mannequin. Comments on this welcomed. Link to comment
michael lyons 0 Posted August 19, 2006 The light is fabulous I think--the shadow around the left side of face (left on the image) I think is too great--it is moving toward the right eye-----ML Link to comment
markboyer 0 Posted August 19, 2006 She's kind of cute, you know. And the angle and light are flattering. Link to comment
stevespencer 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Maybe I should get one of these, then I would have a client that wouldn't complain about her portrait. :| -s on the subject: Good tool for learning lighting. Link to comment
alones 2 Posted August 19, 2006 Nice idea well executed . The composition and light are great Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 19, 2006 The best model I've ever had (not that I've had many...er...ANY!!). She will hold the same position as long as I need her to. For someone just getting into studio lighting (me), this is a really good way to learn. She was only $105 + $50 shipping. She's 5'8" tall, too, so like a "real" person. Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted August 19, 2006 I still think that you need to add a *real* mouth. ;-) Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Funny I've been thinking of playing with selective color, Lou Ann. I'm taking jewelry shots this weekend and was thinking of having the jewelry in color and her in b&w. May have to keep the red lips, though - that looks kind of cool! Link to comment
lbattjes 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Lou Ann's lipstick is great! What shade, Lou Ann? :P I also love the idea of having the jewelry in color and leaving the mannequin in B&W. Can't wait to see the results. Leslie Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Actually, the funny thing is that I'm NOT good with playing with colors. And I didn't use selective color here ... I was just messing with it and clicked the wand tool on the mouth and then went to the color balance and just moved the midlevels slider all the way to Red. Voila! I was startled at how simple it was. I REALLY need to learn to do more with PS!! Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted August 20, 2006 I like the smooth doll-like 'skin' and the snooty human look. Great contrast. Lighting looks nice with a very good tonal range from the black background to the bright face tone. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 20, 2006 No hair today...I have to keep using the scarf for my jewelry shots. Oh well..thanks for having fun with this, everyone. Link to comment
thomas_collins1 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Well, this is one way to solve the model shortage problem. :-) Nicely done. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks, guys! Thomas, feel free to criticize anything that doesn't look right - I'm just learning and you are master of studio lighting, imo! :) Link to comment
bryan olesen 0 Posted August 20, 2006 I was going to ask if you used a "soft" filter, but I guess you didn't because the scarf is sharp. Must be 'cuz the lighting is so even and subdued. This one came out very nice I think.P.S. Love the title - sung to "Some day my prince will come......." Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 20, 2006 I was using layers, Bryan. I'm having so much fun with this! Too bad her hair did NOT come in yet! Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 21, 2006 Looks nearly alive, nice use of light, so I see that you master the studio lights. Good idea. Nice execution, funny and nice title. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 22, 2006 Thanks, Pnina - her hair came in today, but my camera has been shipped off to be cleaned. She looks gorgeous with hair! :) Link to comment
