Hair Bear said:In order to be able to adjust the contrast on an image like that you need a very good base.
You also need to get close to get that detail, very close I think.
Did any of you, who think this is easy, actually look at his photo stream?
Yes
Yes / or a very good lens
Yes
and none of us said this was a bad image.. actually that person probably knows well how to take technically very good images! We are not saying his photography is not good! Just, his postprocessing seems to be not magic .
Keep in mind, that some of the people who answered have been pros for a long time (even decades) and others (like me) have seen a lot of pro work at least (not saying that this did have an effect on my own work though ) ... so you get somehow used to technically good photography and don't cheer that loudly anymore
In terms of his models ... apparently people on the street ... they appear to have been quite willing to be models as they seem totally aware of the camera and joined in the game.... my respects go out for the photographer for this, and for the composition of some of his images ... but all this was not the centre of this debate
