Hey everyone! I've noticed that there aren't too many "how do I get this look?" threads here. You guys are slackin'!
Anyways, I've been following this guy on Flickr and I can't help but say he's probably one of my favorite photographers out there. I've always loved processing my photos using darker tones and a bit of dodging and burning, but this guy takes it to another level with his ability to isolate his subjects with color and clarity.
Check his work out. http://www.benoitp.com/
He shoots with a 5DMKII and 35mm f/1.4L. The majority of his "stranger" photos seem to be done with natural light. Beyond that, his processing skills make the photos appear almost 3 dimensional. His latest photos appear to resemble medium format as their tones are very even and almost muted. I love it.
I'm pretty savvy with photoshop but no matter how much I experiment, I can't seem to match his look. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to replicate his look for my own exploits. I just want try out his process and see if I can learn something new along the way. I'd definitely give him credit as well. I can't stop slacking at work and looking at his Flickr.
Let's put our heads together!
