JudyM Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hi Damien, I would love to know how this photographer achieves this effect. Looks like matte (I know, vomit lol) but I think there's something else....can't put my finger on it Here is the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hi Judy, have you had a chance to read through the posting guidelines for this section? You'll need to post a similarly-lit and -composed photo of your own as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 No, that won't work. Your photo is beautifully lit. Whereas the example photos you've linked are all very shadowy. I need you to find me a more suitable photo of your own; or link to different examples of photo with lighting like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyM Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Not sure whether this one would work. I just took it today of one of my grandsons. I tried the matte. I also added a solid colour layer than masked most of it off. I also used curves, contrast, and hue & sat. Here is my attempt. Ignore the 3rd photo, uploaded in error and I've tried to delete it but it won't go away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm going to go with this one, since it's most similar in lighting: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyM Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 There is a haze or something on the first one I posted....I can get the matte part I think....it's the bit of haze. It might be a light overlay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyM Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 I tried it again with an image that has a darker background. What do you think? I added a solid colour layer then masked most of it off and took even more off of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyM Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 I can't seem to, it's from facebook so it's pulling the whole album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyM Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 How is this one? My edit. And my attempt at matte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha LaRue Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Do you have any images with a strong backlight? Yours are all very evenly lit, and I think part of the editing you're finding the most appealing is due to her dramatic lighting. It looks like heavy haze to me...as in, done in camera due to the strong light. (example of an old photo I took, SOOR) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
