STICKY:  How to photograph a high school Senior

Dave Jr wrote in post #13298879
I could be wrong, but I think the coolness issue is that flash is 5000-5500k, whereas the golden hour light on the trees behind is more like 6500-7500k. I think you'd need to gel your flash to match the ambient in that situation.

How hard would it be to correct this issue in PP with a mask and color adjustment?

Shouldnt be too difficult. Make a jpeg of each color temp, overlay them, perhaps do a selection and mask away.

Not hard... though there are a couple of options. Correct the white balance for the subject, which would make the trees extremely warm, or balance both with each other. At this point its a personal taste thing, but I will likely just correct the overall image's white balance for the subject, and let the trees/sky be overly warm. I find most clients prefer images to be warmer, especially around this time of year.

And that is why you always shoot in Raw, kids....

I don't really shoot seniors but was approached on last minute by a good friend whose niece needed photos done and this is what I ended up with. I did get paid for my time and I promised them one photo. C+C always welcome and appreciated.

Very Nice images!!!

one of best implementation of this pose that I have seen in last bunch of tries by different folks. Keep it up.

edited- Jeremy I like those softball shots. Only one which doesn't work for me is that pose lying on grass which shows half the body with other half missing.

^^Agreed! Very nice work, Ezra. Oops, Bobby posted in between. Agree with Bobby's comment also lol.

Ezra those are truly astounding! As in, magazine-quality astounding. Care to share how they were lit and processed (even if briefly)? I am learning a lot from the POTN community.

curves and layer masks are far better......

ok, here's a corrected version... and a 100% crop to show that they are in focus.

Well, these are all win shots here. Great balance of ambient/flash. I'm sure they'll be happy.

Here's one from last night shoot.

Nice job Locky

One from me for a change. Lol
