Test Photograph for a New Project “Light Abound”

So lately I have gotten into taking pictures of architecture around SL and came up with an idea after just messing around at one site. I wanted to do an extreme contrast picture that had a bright source of light from a custom made windlight sky. I took the photo into photoshop desaturated it and started playing around with contrast, higlight/shadow, and diffuse glow. I really like the effect and am planning to do a series of photos like this. I will use different models for every photograph so if you are interested in modeling please let me know in world. Payment will be two shots of your choice for your portfolio.

This is just the test photo so it still needs a lot of work. I shot the model and the location at different times (green screen). So the transfer of the model onto the background isn’t perfect. Also she really needs a soft facelight to bring out her features.

Let me know what you think about the photograph!

“Radiant Bodies” – Good and Bad Angels

This is my latest SL photography exhibit: “Radiant Bodies”. It consists of good and bad angels (white and black hair and wings). The important artistic thing with this is lighting. Thanks to CW studios and their “Model Glow” for providing a glow that gives depth to the skin. A lot of photoshop work was done to get rid of hard edges and increase a little bit of contrast but most of the contrast of lighting is done inworld through the “Model Glow” and custom Windlight renderglow settings. Also lighting effects where added in photoshop to make the background drop off. All prints are on sale at the Twilight Gallery on the fourth floor.
