David Sims Photography

[bjornmanila]

Hi guys, this is my first post here in Retouch Pro. I am a big fan of David Sims and I was wondering if you guys could help me on how he achieved this kind of treatment (the colors, the skintone, the background) to these photos that he shot.

Thanks so much!

It's just a bit of simple and subtle cross-processing. For the kid with the weird hat, he's raised the black point of the blue channel curve, lowered the white point slightly, and lowered the curve a tad. See attached image.

LOL, that's Karlie Kloss, currently probably the third hottest female model in the world: http://models.com/models/Karlie-Kloss

But she does look like a kid in that photo.
