Jennifer Casalegno Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I love the look of this photographers glowing warm shots. Specifically the seventh and 15th down. http://www.missbymarissa.com/blog/ann-arbor-senior-photographer-abbey-elizabeth/ I'd like to use these shots: Thank you!

Specifically the seventh and 15th down. Did you maybe mean seventh and seventeenth? The 15th one, by my count, is a girl leaning against a stone wall with one leg out, and it doesn't look particularly golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Ok, great. Go ahead and raw-process your photos as normal, then we'll talk about the golden stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 While you're fixing the raw editing, can you also look for some golden example images that have the same lighting as yours? That is, the "panda eyes" facial shadows? Presently, you're desiring a beautiful look that just isn't possible with your photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Casalegno Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 I hate those eyes!! Can I reduce that look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 To a degree, yes. It would take some very patient and time-consuming D&B. Can you re-shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Casalegno Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 No re-shooting but I can learn and be better next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The example photos you linked ... I assume they had some fill flash used. You'd need to ask about it in a photography group though - I can't advise you on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Casalegno Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 This one has less panda eyes. Will it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Well, it would still require a fair bit of D&B to make it look akin to the example ones, but yes, it should be feasible. And it's lovely and golden already, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Pour a stiff drink, put some music on, and start very gently dodging and burning her face to make it look front-lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yep, good stuff! For the areas of her face which are too bright, maybe this might work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
