Posed street portrait taken for my 100 Strangers project and revisited with new editing techniques. Primary editing was done in Lightroom and I exported to Photoshop for some extensive frequency separation work and a subtle addition of split tone processing. Enjoy!

Posed 'stranger' portrait taken for my 100 Strangers project in Glasgow, Scotland.

I spotted Cora standing outside of Queen Street Station in Glasgow. Her style and facial piercings caught my eye and I asked her if she would like a portrait.
Cora was waiting to meet a friend but had a few moments to spare and I was in a great deal of pain so I opted to make the portrait in situ without relocating. Fortunately the wall outside of the station made a perfect setting for the shot and worked well with her style.
I captured some straight 'eyes down the lens' portraits but really liked this one for my 'official' 100 Strangers portrait.
The shots were natural available light only and given a light frequency separation edit in Photoshop after initial processing in Lightroom.
My thanks for Cora for sparing a few moments of her time and I hope that she likes the results that I emailed to her.
I am closing in on the 100 Strangers goal now, just 5 away, and I hope that I can complete the challenge that I set for myself before the ravages of Long Covid and associated pain stop me from enjoying my street photography.
Thank you for your time and I hope that you like the shot too. Take care everyone.
I didn't do much in the way of post-processing (special effects, filters, and what-not) as I wanted her to shine as is. Yes, her contacts are THAT bright when she fully opens her eyes.
Cosplayer: The amazingly wonderful and joyous Life of Cosplay
EDIT: Thank you everybody for all the faves and comments! Wow!! Totally unexpected and I will share this with the cosplayer/model.
Wow! I did not expect my photo of Natalie to hit the Explore page. Thank you for choosing my photo and welcome to all the new viewers to my page. Hope you get the chance to explore and see what I have to offer.
Strobist info :
A Godox Witstro Ad600 in a octabox in front of model (2,40 m high) and slightly on the right side of the subject. Powered at -1 in TTL.
On each sides of the model, fairly behind (at 2 and 10 hours), at 1.80 m height, a speedlight in a softbox (80 cm x 80 cm). Powered at 1/1 in manual mode at zoom 24 mm.

Truth be told, I absolutely hated this excursion. Adding a new hill is not that common an occurrence, and with a head full of many thinks, I saw more a lousy lump on the landscape and wet and wind and rain and mud and mist and cold than I saw sunlight that afternoon.
The post-processing is also a bit cloudy-headed to reflect the feeling
A third image of the Saber cosplayer from last April's (2019) D.C. Cosplays event.
Since I'm revisiting some older photos, I'm throwing in some newer techniques.I wanted this image to look a bit darker than my usual imagery.
Filters: Topaz Adjust's Colored Selenium II; Nik Software's DFine and Color Efex Pro.
UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who stopped by to check out "Saber III" when it was featured in "Explored" for October 7, 2020 (399 out of 500).
I loved the velvetty green grass texture of Dumgoyne and Dumfoyne - a localized basalt outcrop eroding smoothly.
Even if I did have to climb the Whangie to get this view of it...
For some reason this kind of processing also suggested itself again.
Funny portrait with Letterman, a new superhero. He symbolizes the power of the words.
The text is coming from the book "La condition humaine" from André Malraux (published in 1933), a French famous writer.
Photoshop process :
1 / Find a head and cut it from the background.
2 / Make a background in a layer filled with balck color (alt+delete).
3 / Create a 3rd layer with the text tool. Select the text you want and repeat it in order to have the layer full of words. Adjust with the dedicated tool the size and the space of the letters and so on until you find the effect you want.
4 / put the layer of the head just above the layer with the text. Then right click on the layer with the head and choose "clipping mask" (masque d'écrétage in French).
5 / Then you can adjust again the size of the letters etc. I choose to preserve the sun glasses.
I forgot to mention I did some frequency separation on the head at the beginning.
Strobist info : This was shot with a 110cm shoot-through white umbrella on the left with a 45° angle with an Yongnuo yn568 speedlight (with 622 wireless trigger). Yongnuo TX on the camera for easy wireless setup. Sekonic 758D.

Since my father passed earlier in the year I have been struggling with my confidence with all of the grief that has been enveloping me. I noticed Stevie and her male companion sitting on a bench with their suitcases while I was drinking my afternoon cortado. I told myself that if she was still there when I finished my drink, that I would approach her for my 100 Strangers project. Clearly she was still there though I admit to the less confident side of me being tempted to get another coffee!
Stevie was with her male companion and appeared to be a little embarrassed after I introduced myself but her companion gave her a nod to go ahead with a free portrait. Stevie, from Dundee, was in Glasgow for a shopping trip and was happy to spare a few moments for a shoot. She appeared to be a little nervous so I gestured to move just a very short distance to the columns outside of the Gallery of Modern Art.
Stevie had no experience of posing in front of a camera lens and was initially nervous. A little gentle coaching to relax and act naturally seemed to help and resulted in a couple of great shots - a colour shot will be uploaded soon. Captured using natural light only, on a rather dark and gloomy day, and processed with a light dusting of 'frequency separation' in Photoshop to clean up a few areas for the close-up shot.
Details were exchanged and I handed Stevie my card - I emailed the images to her this morning and hope that she loves the result of us both overcoming our own battles of confidence. Enjoy!

I spotted Desiree walking down a busy Saturday high street in the city, she stood out from the crowd of dour-looking shoppers. I asked Desiree if she would like a portrait and we moved aside from the crowd to the edge of this alleyway, out from under the footfall of shoppers.
Desiree, who comes from Estonia, was in Glasgow for the X-Factor auditions which had just taken place earlier in the city. Needless to say that I wished her every success with the audition and perhaps we will get to see her on television in the near future.
Captured using natural light, although I wish that I could have included some sort of catch-light in her eyes, and initial processing was done in Lightroom. I asked Desiree to pose a shot with the Xrite ColorChecker Passport so that the colour could be calibrated correctly. After a base edit I exported the shot to Photoshop for a light pass with Frequency Separation editing and then edited a layer to reduce the shadows under her eyes caused by the lack of light. Using both techniques just enough for effect but to retain a perfectly natural look.
I bumped into Desiree the following day and hope that she enjoyed her day of sightseeing in the city too. I thanked her for her time posing for a few portraits and have sent the shots to her.
Enjoy!
Mean blend of 7 exposures (1/1000s-1s), plus some frequency separation to bring out some coronal detail.
Here is the brother of the little princess I shot at the same moment (see previous shot in the gallery).
I tried to have a dark but fun background to focus on the Batman clothes.
I found the car here (thank you www.deviantart.com/art/Chevey-Impala-Stock-3-165482683 : iguanadongreenstock.deviantart.com/ ) :
I used the road of mysticmorning.deviantart.com/ here : mysticmorning.deviantart.com/art/Bryc-Render-Backg-433808876
And NY city from fairiegoodmother.deviantart.com/ here : fairiegoodmother.deviantart.com/art/New-York-Stock-7-1215...
Post-Processing : I made the image with all the background and objects in Photoshop.
I did frequency separation on the head.
I did dodge and burn on all the picture.
I used Topaz Adjust software to make a dark scenario.
I used Topaz texture effect to add leak lights and texture on the image.

I saw Amanda sitting with a friend on the steps of the Gallery of Modern Art and it was her bright lipstick contrasting with her deep blue top that caught my eye. I usually see in black and white when concentrating on street photography so noticing the colour 'pop' for this shot really grabbed my attention.
Initially reluctant, Amanda and her friend misunderstood my approach thinking that a fee would be involved and I love that, after explaining that it was free and an opportunity for me to practice portraiture, she said that was a 'game changer'.
Amanda was a little self-aware of being photographed in the midst of a busy street so I tried to put her at ease by asking her about herself. While I directed Amanda into position, where a shaft of reflected sunlight glanced over her face, she told me that she textile designer and artist, with her own business in the West End of Glasgow.
Making the most of the reflected light, I chose this shot because I loved the wisps of hair radiating in the breeze. Initially edited in Lightroom and then exported to Photoshop for a light pass of frequency separation editing and to remove a couple of loose hairs from her face. We exchanged business cards and I thanked Amanda. I thank her again, I hope that she loves the portraits that I sent to her and I gratefully appreciated her time, allowing me to practice my portraiture and editing skills. Enjoy!

Giving myself both a brief to photograph someone 'blissfully and peacefully enjoying music in the city' and to also use a model release form for the first time was quite a challenge. Shooting candid street photography is a breeze compared to asking a complete stranger to pose for a portrait.
I saw Akosua with her headphones plugged in and it was her awesome hair that caught my eye. It really made the earbud headphones stand out for the shot that I wanted to achieve.
Akosua, who is originally from Ghana, was happy to pose for a few shots after I explained the brief to her and for the final shot all I needed to do was to ask her to lighting close her eyes - doing so got the shot that I had envisioned. Captured with natural light only and in post processing this is the first time I have used frequency separation on a models skin and I am thrilled with the resulting image.
I'll be sending a copy of my shots to Akosua and a copy of the model release soon. I offer my thanks to Akosua for taking a little time out of her day to pose for a few street portrait shots with me. Enjoy!
The third kind of woodland on the afternoon's stroll was another obvious man-made arrangement, but this time an avenue of beech trees, one of which looked quite spooky waving its branches around in the only patch of sunlight.
Ominous dark clouds passing overhead, shafts of light on the water of Loch Lomond.

This one of my favorites of this series with Jacqueline. The 85mm is still doing a great job and it never gets boring or something. I love this lens. :)

Well, another shot made in this beautiful place with my beautiful model... What else ?
The sun was hard. I used the flash to open the shadows the best I could.
I took eight photos of this cosplayer. Unfortunately, all except for the very last one was out-of-focus (dang it!). But the last image looked damned good.
I threw many of the post-processing features I had available to me into this one as I wanted controlled chaos going on all around her; matching her mind-set from the end of WandaVision. I used multiple fractal brushes with different "layer style" settings to add outer glows, gradients, color overlays, etc. The background is a seven-pointed star created with Oxidizer. It has been faded to let a bit of original background bleed through adding in some textures and the cosplayer was masked out so that she showed up at 100%.
I used the frequency separation technique to give a smoother yet realistic look to her skin and minimize fly-away hairs on her face.
