Hi guys,

This is my first post on this forum so go easy!

After noticing all the attention being paid to the one and only Dave Hill, I thought i would have a go at recreating his effects.

Please let me know what you think!

Hi, I think you got the Photoshop work down pretty good. But I think you should observe how Dave Hill lit his models. He almost always uses a beauty dish a little off center from the top. Two huge softboxes from both sides. And another strobe from the back for a rim lighting effect.

Now if you don't mind giving us an idea on how you did the Photoshop work, that would be great. :)

nice portrait, the dave hill effect isn't quite there yet...I woul dwork on getting texture in her jacket/morning dress/whatever :D This will add more dave ill effect since his texture is very good...her hair doesn't hav ethe same structure in highlights...The feel and emotion around the picture is dave hillish, but this is 2 out of 6 stars!

Thanks for the helpful feedback guys, much appreciated!

I checked DH's new portfolio -what is new for me- wow! again, he's serious in lightning as we know already, I've checked his blog, there is a jpg what he took at Coney Island, that's about 7000*5000px, what is the base that hyperdetailed looking, I've recognised at the behindthescenes section his team use lots of type of lightsources so that could be a pleasure to work with his picts because he is in masterclass of photogrphy, what is the other cause of his 'secret'
