A few from last Saturdays early (very early!) morning photoshoot. It was raining on and off and there wasnt much light to play with, but overall i am pleased with the results.

apologies if you have seen these on TP...

There are plenty of colour edits too, check my flickr.

number 5 is weird, kinda insecure. ive looked at all 19, really nice set, your models are very intriguing.

Jamie (9 of 14) is cool.

No.2 I like

Phate · 5 Jun 2011 at 15:59

Really like all of these

Question, how is it you go about getting them to look...old? is it less contrast?

Raymond Lin · 5 Jun 2011 at 16:00

Lovely, that 5Dii is loving it being in your hands

Every single one looks virtually perfect. If anything though, they all look a little bit dark/underexposed, but that could be my monitor.

I'd say they perhaps need a 1-2% bump in contrast perhaps? But thats just nit-picking. Lovely images eitherway!

They are all amazing, I love them. Great processing too!

Raymond Lin · 5 Jun 2011 at 17:44

It helps immensely when the subjects are photogenic.

Btw, are they off MM?

adamau5 · 5 Jun 2011 at 19:05

Thanks for the compliments. It was a shoot for an agency. I love the 5dii!

Its a preset i have developed in lightroom. Essentially its a curve adjustment to reduce the black (you can do the same thing with increasing the exposure offset in PS), then a small boost of fill light.

Cheers Ray! I have to say, 50mm on a full frame is just heavenly.

Brilliant set and love the processing, thanks for the description on how to do, have managed it in PS but doing it in Lightroom makes life a lot quicker.

Raymond Lin · 6 Jun 2011 at 17:21

Btw, is this a fashion shoot? Was it your choice for it to be in b&w? Coz you don't see many fashion shoot in b&w because to sell clothes, it needs to be in colour.

Ksanti · 6 Jun 2011 at 17:27

Almost looks like cross processed B&W from the lightened blacks; I love the whole set! I'm in love with the catchlights in Holly 3 of 16
