Just for giggles

[PhillipM]

From time to time, I'll yank a junior or senior girl in the studio for some fun. I'll send them to the salon for hair/makeup, and we're rolling.
I work with retouchers abroad from time to time to give me something extra...

Lighting: AB800 w/beauty dish above, AB400 w/grid for the b/g, AB400 w/sb for hair camera right.

Typical h/k lighting for me on this one. (2) AB800 w/sb for b/g, AB800 w/beauty dish for her, white board below for fill.

Your retouchers are getting a little out of hand, especially on #2, which looks like a not-very-good render of a girl.

That's exactly why I hire them.

For that look exclusively.

Is it extreme? Why yes it is.

These are not senior pics. Just us playing.

I have to agree with amolitor. Maybe the retoucher has been watching a few too many youtube videos lately. :lmao:

 

[PhillipM]

It's all good Ron...

I love a break from the day to day looks and typical looks.

I also love it, when the senior girls come into the studio and see prints like these on the walls... of girls they know, but in a different light per se.

 

[Designer]

I like 'em.

 

[Mully]

They look fun to me...always good to take a departure.

 

[PhillipM]

Thanks Design / Mull's

Just something different... That's why I love this art form.

 

[ronlane]

I'd say that is a good HDR photo.

Phillip- you have to understand that most images on this forum are of puppies, sunsets, newborns, and kids. Anytime something remotely fashion and beauty related is posted, it causes temporary confusion as the pre-programmed/ canned critique replies don't always apply to this genre. The second image is awesome and is in alignment with a lot of fashion photography that's happening today. It's also classy of you to credit retouchers when you didn't do it yourself. A tip of the hat to you. I hope you stick around.

This isn't a pre-programmed or canned response, nor am I confused in any way: I just don't like skin that looks like plastic. The photography is excellent, the processing isn't.

 

[PhillipM]

Evening folks... It's all good. I understand that the way folks see things, is very broad based.

Nothing wrong with puppies and kids either

I NEVER take a comment personally. Life's too short for that.

You guys/gals may always feel free to speak what you think about any image I post. If I was to worry about non-sense like that, I would never post.

Have a GREAT holiday tomorrow.

I'm trouble shooting the darkroom tonight..

Peace

I like the photos themselves, but not so much the retouching, even if it was just for fun.

It's just not appealing to me.

exceptionally poor choice of words.

Exceptionally poor response! Especially considering your signature!
