I finally finished processing pics for the other Model Mayhem model, Emily Cowart. It was definitely a trying week, with deadlines at work and the desire to focus on the Ragdoll and Geisha project, and trying to make good on a promise to Emily. I use Capture NX2 and Color Efex Pro 3.0 from NIK Software to process my pics. NIK software also has plug-ins for Adobe products. The photos of Emily were pretty straightforward since I used Vincent Versace's method for processing portraits. However, taking a bad picture cannot be fixed regardless of your software of choice. There is one of Em where she is leaning backwards and the right-side of her face is black, and therefore no detail. I should have used a strobe 1/8 power to fill.
On Tuesday, March 17, I took a break and after work I drove out to see the wildflowers blooming, but I'll share that on another post.
The best news from the Ragdoll Geisha shoot, was a compliment by artisan Eric James Swearingen, who is a photographer, graphic artist and filmmaker. He wrote the following about the Ragdoll picture,"Mesmerizing! Excellent technical execution and implementation of concept. Love how the cool under tone of the blue fill light compliment the key. Anahy’s gaze is thought provoking and brilliantly understated. Ramona’s make up creates a character with an eerie almost ghostly atmosphere. Well done by all!" Needless to say, Anahy and I were both elated by the comment of a veteran and accomplished artist. Thank You, Eric!!!
That's a wrap!!!
