I don’t shoot a lot of b/w, and the color in this shoot was really awesome, but for some reason, I thought this shot in particular looked great without it.

Point of interest: This image violated Facebook’s terms of use.

This is the third time Devin and I have worked together, and for the third time we got some amazing shots. This concept was actually Devin’s, and I think I was able to translate it successfully.

About the set: Pink fabric over black. The lighting is a single source, halogen lamp, 600w. Super hot, on a tripod, about 8’ up. Devin did her own makeup and hair.

About the edit: Heavily adjusted the exposure, and contrast. Made some changes to the color levels. Used the Liquify tool to alter Devin’s waist, and eyes, and then blacked them out with the burn tool. I added some texture to the background with custom brushes, and finally, covered her pink bits with the brush tool.
