I suspect there's some post-processing work, but not much. He has a true gift for lighting.

I've seen his stuff before. Truly beautiful. Well worth the look around.

interesting work, but i'd say there is a lot of post processing done...

Frank Lopes gave me a link to his work late last year -- amazing lighting!

Discussion at DPreview's Retouching forum about techniques they think he uses - photographically and Photoshop...

It probably a more elaborate version of what I cover in my simple tutorial, but he's exceedingly good at it (and I still don't count it as much post-processing).

Thats painting with a series of photographic images as a starting point - theres a great deal of post in there, dodge and burn, composit, cleaning as well as has been pointed out an eye for color

you could check out the link CJ posted and look up "pams" posts, she has a good workflow down for this guy as well as a Dragan look as well...

Incredible amount of talent, and patience to see it through. No mater what methods he uses! "It ain't no plug-in" (or if it is. . . . where do I place my order!)

Yes. I have looked at Auto FX products many times, but I have never even downloaded a demo. Not sure why. I guess it's because the examples shown as results seem hand picked and the effects are not all that impressive to my eye.

I would be interested to hear of anyone elses experience with some of these products!
