1:02 am - Behind The Scenes Photography

A few days a go i did this photo session.
This time, Chika my friend become my model.

I did this photo session in midnight on the bathroom and I only need 2 minutes for making this picture, so I called this picture 1:02am.
I'll show you how easy and fast to make this picture.

Picture below show you the flash lighting setting.
The bathroom dominated with white color. So i only used one Visatec Solo 800B bounced to the ceiling.


I used Nikon D70s DSLR camera with nikon fix lens 24 mm f/2,8. One of my favorite lens :)
As usual, I do adjustments on Adobe Camera Raw 4.0 first on Adobe Photoshop CS3. I give a red label on the part that I change. (click to enlarge)

As seen on the picture below, we can see the difference between the original picture and the after adjustments one. Not much editing but we get significant difference.

In the next step, I want to make the hair looks more red. So I use selective color, and make some adjustments on the red channel.

Red arrow show you that the color getting more red, and the green arrow show you the part of picture that I masked to get the skin tone not too red.


Last step, I do burning and dodging, especially on the hair and face to make it look brighter.

Ok.. thats it!
Very simple session that only need one flashlighting and post processing less than two minutes. Hope you like it :)
