It’s time for a before and after!
Shot with my 50mm at 1/125, 2.5 and ISO 1000 with natural light.
I had her facing a window straight on (my back to the window) about 4 feet away. I just placed my foamboard (wrapped in Thunder Gray seamless paper) up against the back of a chair for a quick backdrop.
I first cropped it to a 5×7 and rotated it bit to the right so she wasn’t leaning as much. I then edited with Florabella’s Ambrosia Action from her new Luxe Collection and tweaked each layer to my liking. I then went and did a selective color adjustment layer, choose neutral in the drop down menu and moved the black slider over to about +8 to darken the background. Then I just painted back her face with a soft brush at 95% to remove what the selective layer did to her. I added a texture from my texture pack, changed the layer mode to soft light and reduced the opacity to about 60%. I did a vector mask on the texture layer and painted the texture off her skin. And for the last step, I ran a vignette to blend everything together!
I LOVE me some befores and afters! Hope you enjoyed it!
