Jen5064 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I am inspired by Brandon Woelfel's use of artificial light, bokeh and reflections in his low light portraits. I've always avoided low light portraits. How does he do it? Any ideas? http://www.brandonwoelfel.com/before-afters/ I adjusted the WB and applied noise reduction in my images.

Damien Symonds Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Looks like the standard matte crap. Which of his photos in particular would you like to mimic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The matte look is not my style, but I do like how it looks on low light images. A starting point to see if I can develop my own style, anyway. http://www.brandonwoelfel.com/photography-1/dinnmgyh4nlu5rf6fclvty5xmy1tvy http://www.brandonwoelfel.com/before-afters/dy0pi0nav6gag2vci3dmeuac9tgann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The second link is starting with a warm photo. Do you have one? Do you have the "before" of the first link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen5064 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 I don't have a "before" of the first link. But, I think this link is a similar edit just darker. http://www.brandonwoelfel.com/photography-1/dinnmgyh4nlu5rf6fclvty5xmy1tvy Is this image better? The WB of these images, SOOC, is all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen5064 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) opps, this one. http://www.brandonwoelfel.com/before-afters/xpmxh8vnyhinc5fbh5gethmnz08evw Edited January 5, 2019 by Jen5064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SManazis Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) I think your pictures lack the proper lighting to create the "contrasty" look. The rest is just matte and color grading I think. Edited January 5, 2019 by SManazis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen5064 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Not at all. I’m just trying to learn something new here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SManazis Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Without a RAW file, it's pretty limited, but I came up with this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen5064 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks! I've been playing with the the sliders in Camera Raw and I've decided that I don't like what the colored lights are doing to her skin at all. I'm going to experiment with white lights see where that takes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
