Strange light?

[_Steve_]

Hey all...I'm a huge fan og the italian football-team Inter..and they've just got new jerseys. Now, in 2 of the pics, there are some strange light...and i just can't figure it out what they've used?..I've looked at it serveral times...and i just don't get it..but i love the look!

any suggestions?

i think its the flare from the overhead lamps.

could be....but thats just the flares at the top....what about the rest?
It's desaturated for sure,
Infact..i think they've used an old arena-photo (i know for a fact that they haven't played a game with the new jersey's yet)..so i think he is in a studio, and his cut into the scene..

It could be a normal daytime shot with the background desaturated slightly more than Wes. Hope Utd get him! The linear flare looks like airbrushing.

Yeah, they can have him....for £20mill + Nani (is what the Italian newspapers suggesting)

But yeah...it could be normal daylight. tho i find Wes abit to "filled" with light than a normal sky above?

[Repairman]

Heck, I sometimes can't retrace the steps I've taken to get a particular result, never mind other peoples results! 20 mil plus Nani sounds like bargain. Think I'd rather live in Milan though.

Looks like the edges were blurred and darkened or vignetted.

It's a body double with his head on. It's highly desaturated, even his skin. The boots were first shot wrong, and then reshot. The flare on top is just some white drawn onto a layer.
