Looks like a composite. She was shot in a studio.

 

[demyx]

composite? please explain more

more than one photo was used, one of the girl shot in a studio, the background another, then merged together with software

 

[demyx]

yeah the background is nice and all but i want to know how the effect was done on the girl, she looks like computer generated graphics or something lol

Well, first you need a genetic scientist to build you a girl with incredibly huge hands.

After that it's a matter of lighting and photoshop. Come on back when you're grown your girl.

that's it?

That was a joke. But her hand IS incredibly huge. I can't tell if it's just closer to the camera than it looks, or is someone went crazy with photoshop.

You wanna know about the lights and the photoshop?

It looks like she's lit with a whole bunch of lights from several different angles to create a look with very little in the way of shadows.

Key pretty much dead on in the front, maybe camera right a little? There's another light camera left, down lower, I think, probably with a big-ass diffuser of some sort, and then fill from all over the place, but definitely reflector or something lower powered to fill in from camera right.

Then smooth the crap out of her skin in photoshop. punch up the saturation a bit.

Finally composite her onto some sort of outdoorsy background.

It's probably one of those "Retro" plugins for Photoshop that have become so popular lately. They seem to be popping up like weeds so finding one you can use should not be a problem.

He's just stating a fact. All he was doing was referring to the forum guidelines. You posted a picture that you did not take or hold the copyright for. What you are doing is against the rules.

so that means any picture from google and especially from a camera phone is considered against the rules?
