Fake tan

LincsRP · 13th of July 2012 (Fri)

Ok, the fake tan went slightly wrong yesterday and I shoot her wedding tomorrow.

The bride is taking steps to reduce the effect today but it's gonna be interesting tomorrow!

Church do, possibly strobed indoors due to our UK weather pattern at the moment. Any thoughts on how best keep the orange glow in check?

You might have to go mostly B&W.

That's a good point - B&W the 'new' colour

If it's really awful perhaps try to shoot her away from red/orange colors so that you can PP it easier and just get her down to a tanned color

i was going to suggest you desaturate the images a bit instead of going full blown b/w. its shouldn't too hard to selectively tone down skin tones, more work, but shouldn't be too bad.

luckily the wedding gown and white/black tux will help out a ton. the bridal party shots may be a problem though, depending on color.

Well here in the UK fake tans have been all the rage following sunbed scares re cancer.

Just wish she hadn't had it done so recent. It didn't help when her Father offered to nip her around to the auto repair shop for a respray ...
