well, this stock picture is nice to try these effects...blown out background, but it works...I have dodged and burdne his suit, burner shadows and dodged highlights around th room...added a lamp to the light...

I'm not 100% about the face though...iabit difficult to add highlights, when the photographer probably didn't use flash or flash to the face...

what do you think??

I think alot of the images for greenburg are due to lighting.
looks like a couple of ringflashes for Gwen Stefani.

I quite like your image although I wouldn't say it's exactly greenberg style.

Tell you what. You should check out her retoucher because Jill is just responsible for the initial photo and lighting (which is very important too).

Her retoucher is Amy Dresser (www.amydresser.com).

Amy is mainly responsible for the greenberg look.

enigma: Oh, thanks! Well, been wondering if she have use amy for retouching since the style is very similar...I think amy retouche for alot of people around...


Look at the Erwin OLAF post I posted earlier this week...He's got some very nice pictures!
