My friend Bobby and I did an impromptu portrait shoot the other day. He is the designer and owner of a clothing label called Lift.

What a nice piece. Love the color, bokeh and subject.

Gorgeous portrait. Subject placement is spot on, and use of the leaf is a nice touch. Beautiful job!

Nice processing! You took a warm, airy photo and turned it into something cold and sharp. Very cool.

It took a LOT of time. I got so frustrated at one point that I almost scrapped it, but I'm really glad I didn't.

What do you use in Photoshop to color grade? I've been using levels, but often they're not very precise (IE: it will adjust shadow tones very broadly). I've tried to use curves but there's a bit of a learning curve (ha!) to them lol

Very neat, very interesting.

I use a selective color layer mask and a curves layer mask to adjust color and contrast, and reduce the saturation with a hue/saturation layer mask.
