Photo-study

Scarfbra

Creativity goes on.

Had a nice little photo-session a few days ago. However, … I don’t know why or when, I draped that scarf to a bra around that cloaked ‘points of interest’ and took some pictures. The original picture — that master photo that leaded to the series, you see on the right — was a bit boring maybe, but I loved that smooth light-play on the skin, that I only found on this picture.

So, I decided to play a bit with masking and colors to get a bit more excitement to the image.

At first I had to do a little bit of touch up work, before masking out that improvised bra. After long time of working with a masking-brush and the magic-wand-tool, I had those two parts: That wonderful skin as a background and the scarf as foreground.

Decided to darken the background a bit, to lay more weight on the foreground and as if I was forced to, I spontaneously altered the background to grayscale colors. A bit more of contrast and a little playing with the color-temperature later, I had my first result and was really happy with it.

And so I tried a bit here and a little there and created this lovely series of pictures casually.

 

Now, … here it is and I hope you enjoy it. Just click on it to get that image bigger! And please leave a comment afterwards.

 

 

Lots of love,

Thorsten
