Dark World

The world is not so cool sometimes. Violence is everywhere. We are animals.

 

Strobist info : one strobe through white umbrella on the right of the camera at 45°, @24mm and 1/2.

 

PS process : Ok, this time, I organised my layers to make a proper work. I tried different technics and I also created PS Actions to speed my workflow next time (fun to create PS actions by the way).

Step 1 : I cut the background and create a layer mask.

Step 2 : I tried the technic of Frequency separation in order to separate colors and texture and work on each layer. I was happy with the outcome.

Step 3 : I made a small Dodge and Burn (really small). I didn't find an interest since frequency separation gave me a good light mood.

Step 4 : I learnt the technic to improve the teeth color and aspect. At this step, I wasn't of the final idea I wanted to make. I created a PS action to speed my next work. It's now really easy to do.

Step 5 : The colors of the skin. I created a specific layer with black color (incrustation mod) and applied a Hue/Stauration layer on it. Then I applied Topaz Adjust software and Dusk effect.

 

Hope this helped. Feel free to comment, I would appreciate.
