Hay friends,
I want to start another thread where someone (this time me) asks how a photographer does his PP, and you answer. ;)

So this time it Robin Tremblay.


Robin Tremblay's work is outstanding in general, but the specific photographs I want to hear your take on are his more recent portraits.

Can any of you find the low down on what exactly he has done?

Here are a few examples of what I'm talking about:

Thanks!

I'm not sure what he did, other than the reconstructed flopped half of a portrait (does that make sense?). The lighting is intriguing, and he obviously has applied a combination of techniques to come up w/this look. Someone once showed me this tutorial, which Robin may have taken a similar approach...

Have you tried asking him, yet? I noticed he doesn't post what technique he uses when asked directly on his flickr responses. (I wouldn't either, if I worked really hard on a new series, at least not until I was over it and onto the next experiment.)

Looks to me like there's been some HDR/tone mapping work done on these, perhaps using something like Photomatix or Artizen HDR.
