I agree with most of what I read here, the photographer happens to be incredible at what he does, and has one hell of a team down to make-up artist, wardrobe, lighting team, assistances, etc.

I have used colored gels over strobes all through college, I am sure there was some photoshop done, but I believe the main effect was captured in studio.

I bought my colored gels from Adorama Camera.

To use them, I just taped them over the plain strobes, and played around with exposure, shutter speed, types of lights, and different colors until I achieved the desired effect. They are specifically made to withstand temperatures of high heat. They were a lot of fun, but challenging too. Enjoy.

Salut,
Amanda Lauren

Thanks for sharing.

About me: Been a Photographer since 1983. B&W printing, Color printing, color photo print retouching, and Digital Artist Master Craftsman.

This portfolio - OK, nothing great or unique. Someone once told me many years ago, "Put a beautiful girl in the scene and you cant go wrong, because any shmuck can photograph a beautiful girl."
While I take exception to that statment as a universal rule, it is like going to Yosemite and pointing your camera in any direction - eventual you are bound to get a few great shots just by being there.

Thanks for the yammer Shoku. Let's see your portfolio.

So, that's another one, but I can't feel the same looking at mine and at Dayan ones. Still a good exercise.
Maybe, HelloPiccadilly (if you have time), would be fine to try out something with more natural light and balanced strobe

p.s.: well this one is a little strange, I'm used to work in ProPhotoRGB and then convert into sRGB for web. Converting this particular one I've a color shift :S

Amazing work and thanks for sharing...Could I ask how you make the mask for the toning?

You called it the Hue Saturation 3 mask, in the colours tones group???

Most likely a noob with only 2 posts so far (Harv that is, who resurrected the thread yesterday)...Can't say I mind much tho! Love Bruno Dayan's work (you know this onceinarow!) and have enjoyed reading some of the threads here.

Zombie regaining strength...

Thank you.
I'm pretty sure it's the Super Darks alpha inverted with Levels applied (Black Output over 140 and minor adjustment on White/Neutral Input).

[onceinarow]

I stand corrected! ApWizard coming through with the reply 2 years later!

Bruno Dayan is amazing indeed. It is nice to see a thread asking about the making of a shot from a photographer I actually like for once. haha
