Yes i know about the light. one or two lights with softboxes balanced with ambient and a little HUE shift . nice images btw - touch ones feelings maybe because of the HUE shift i dont know.. but is there any Pscs5 Hdr involved here - maybe just a little?

I was looking at his portfolio and wondering the same thing today. It almost look like there's some HDR or shadow/highlight going on in his backgrounds because they all seem a little muted with a very low black level. I think most of the backgrounds are also a little underexposed. I tend to doubt it's HDR but am not really certain. I love the look of it in the photo on the left here: http://www.crismanphoto.com/#/Portfolio/Portfolio/27

This effect has three things going for it:
1- using flash/strobe to emphasis the subject
2- separation between the subject and the BG utilizing light -above- and through heavy PP
3- That "clean" look that eludes me, I just simply gave up on how to achieve it

thanks guys - low contrast for certain - colors that affect emotions and flsah for seperating subjects from background - i will pack my gear and try finding a motiv making certain i get that clean image to start with. please do still write on this thread - i will be following it.

1. Good lighting, for portrait at least 3 strobes. For some pics the background and subject is treated seperately. There is no HDR there, just lots of work put into it. Lots of dodging/burning and adjustment layers. If you have a well lit picture you want to have in this style (note that it is not just one style) you can send it to me and i will have a go at it. you can ask my email in private message if you want it.

What puzzles me the most is how this guy is doing to stay still like that during all the shooting...Just kidding.
