Here is another amazing photograph which I shot lately, I spent quality time to take the best shots of the model and edited one of the best. I used a black Model with brown skin this time. Initially, I wanted to take an Outdoor Shoot for the Model, but time has already gone, so I had to make you of the indoors — a Studio. This time, I had two Light Strobes brought very close together to the Model. I made the Model sat on a studio chair and I brought the Studio Light close to the face of the Model: one light at the right hand-side, and the other at the left hand-side, and I made sure she got some of the best unique and befitting styles that suit the best. I couldn't take full shots Indoors, since it was an outdoor photoshoot, so I had to go with Portrait forms. The backdrop used is a mix of black and yellow colour. I wanted to use a black background, but I already envisaged the outcome, so this mixtures made the result look better for editing. As you can see, it looks amazing with the background on blurry mode. I made the subject popped up, and also made the background not too visible.
As I said earlier, one of the major problems in ‘Photo-editing’ is the colour-grading part which poses problem for editors generally. Colour-grading of any Image gives editors a lot of challenges. Here is the Model I used for the photoshoots. I made the same picture passed through different channels of colour. Pertaining to the colour effects on the subject, if you take a closer look at the images, there are noticeable things which are the Skin Textures and Colour-looks. The skin textures and the colour-looks are popping out well.
I added a tinge of brightness and contrast, gradient map, vibrance and colour-cool filter for the betterment of the outlook.
This is the result here — from the original version to the edited version:
The picture seemed to be large (11 MB version, and it was shot on Raw), that's why I was able to work my editing process on it.
The first result
The first result seems good, but it depends on one's choice. I didn't stop here, I went ahead to filter the image by adding ‘colour filter coolness' to make the image cool.
The final result
The final result looks much better, and its coolness made it captivating. If you zoom the image well, you would notice that its sharpness or crispiness is still retained.
