The first step would be retouching for skin blemishes and marks on the door frame that I didn’t want. The middle version then is the out-of-the-RAW-converter JPG. The White Balance was way off, but that wouldn’t be a problem in adjusting the RAW file. The image on the left is the out-of-camera image.
Looking through the images again today, cleaning up my hard drives, I hovered over the first image I took and thought it might hold some promise still if I worked it a little bit in Photoshop. I shot about eight frames in the tight corner, but didn’t like what I saw on the back of my camera, so called it a day. I thought it might work as a gritty urban setting. The only semi-interesting background I could find in the studio (that wasn’t a white wall), was this grungy green door to one of the store-rooms. Here is the low-key portraits we did with the Profoto set-up. Just for a comparison of sorts to show that on-camera bounce flash can give interesting results too. When we were done with the studio shoot with Ulorin Vex, we still had a few minutes left, so I thought I could do a bounce flash portrait as well.
