Revenge (may Offend)

[Jonni Allen]

I have added a B&A so you can see how i more or less went about it. I did as much as i could in camera and at the time i couldn't find a garden to my liking. it was taken two years ago and edited the other week as I had some time on my hands and i also found the garden i wanted to use . I did an edit back then but it never worked due to the background i used.

It was a four light setup. The main light in this image was the one @ camera left and slightly behind her. The rim light @ camera right was set a lot lower as i wanted to create a rim but not overpowering the main. The other two were to the front for fill and to create highlights.

Post was mainly D&B, colour balance, Inverted surface blur for detail, added a painterly look using reduce noise and high pass, added a sky, garden, wasp, smoke and birds, added the tip of her finger on her left hand (it was hidden behind the leaf), removed sticker on plant pot and just did some free style to add the overall look i wanted at the time.

Hope you like it.

Superbly done again and it is nice to see the before and after versions. It's especially interesting to see that you had such a clear vision / intention.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Ha, that's pretty cool!

 

[Jonni Allen]

Thanks Pete and Hamish.
It was inspired by Dave Hill.

Brilliant - has a very polished commercial feel to the finished product - great to see the before and after

Does this one have a target market/publication you're shooting for?

 

[Jonni Allen]

@Rense Haveman . It's not all that hard, it's just knowing what and how to use PS. The hard part is the ideas as you wil know with your creative work.

@Brian Moore . Thanks.

@Chris Dodkin. Thanks No it's just for pleasure.

Well, Jonni..... don't know..... PS is one big black box for me until now, so I have to get acquainted with that....
