JeanPaul Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 I was supposed to imitate a famous photographer in my work (yousef Karsh was my dude) I emphasized his excellent detail in skin features and strong contrast. And here it is: The rest http://flickr.com/photos/jeanpaultron/s ... 472112284/ Quote
JeanPaul Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Posted April 12, 2008 Why do I rarely get responses? Quote
e-freak Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 the picture is nice but why link to flickr? I'd love to see these here in the thread to give you a direct answer. Furthermore it might be abit hard to catch up with Yousef Karsh, but you did a nice job though! On the stilistic of the lighting: Karsh used subtile lightings and had no hardedged shadows or highlights on his persons but always a whole "lighting-scene", while in the here shown picture you clearly see two spots or whatever this is.

JeanPaul Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah I got those crits from other people, and I definitely agree. The one thing I went for in the imitation was the large amount of skin detail he has in his shots. Quote
e-freak Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 yes you really nailed that. The skin detail is superb. I guess you used a classic setup of two spots direct and global with low angle? Quote
JeanPaul Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 Actually no, this is the worst part. That was taken in my dorm Quote
e-freak Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Then you deserve a medal I always find it the hardest part to get good structure in photos if I don't setup my spots. Quote
JeanPaul Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah, I just got lucky with this lighting, and I also did a bit of RAW editing Quote
