Posted by admin in Commercial, Fashion, Party & Events, Product on December 12, 2009
I bumped into this girl I use to hang with a few years back at the basement Jaxx show a couple weeks ago. Just so happens that she lives in the building across from me; she is all grown up now and rockin it.. this DJ / custom Jeweler and i decided to hook up and do a lifestyle shoot with her jewelry and it came out awesome in my opinion.
I threw a pink light form an opposing angle just to fill some shadow areas with colour and pop to give it a club like feel. I shot the images with a alien bee ring light connected to a powerpack in my back pack!
I had an amazing time hanging with her and her girls and shooting those beautiful Foxy Gems.. .. check out her amazing gems and custom Jewelry Facebook Page. Anyway here are some preview images from the shoot.
Enjoy.
Knowing your photoshop

Knowing your Photoshop, how to retouch images, dodge and burn, filters, blurring and how to paint; many people including myself initially always assume there is some crazy tool or plug in that makes work amazing there isn’t. Great retouching is still a hands on thing, now i do have some quick and simple techniques for making photos pop but the real work is all done by hand on a tablet, painting it on and blending it away.
The point of all this yappin. Being great at retouching can save a bad photo and make it usable and turn a good photo into something spectacular.
The example below is good because it shows how much work goes into making something difficult like flowers in a glass bowl look amazing when the final image is done.
