Hello! I am an equine photographer and have started offering "Black Background" sessions. I can black out the backgrounds easily but have trouble achieving the final look I want. There's a very popular subtle matte effect that I just have not been able to emulate, as well as a contrast and color richness that I haven't been able to achieve.
The best example I could find was this picture by Giana Terranova: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5695489369a91a43b0d3043e/5695c863c21b863e111b7c38/581bf1019f74566a7101fea5/1478226540400/equiportgalley-22.jpg?format=1000w
Would love some insight... my image is attached. Thank you!
