1940's painted pin-up look
I am a complete newb at PS and digital retouching. I am interested in getting a 1940's hand painted glamour pin-up look to some of my photos, like this effect. http://www.hotshotscalendar.com/the-girls/holly-peers http://www.hotshotscalendar.com/the-girls/kelly-hall http://www.hotshotscalendar.com/the-girls How do I do this? Thanks! Sep 07 13 12:19 am Link I don't see anything painted. Just pastel background. And skin without texture.

It's about painting on black and white prints to colorize them. You don't actually have to read it, but it may inspire you. Richie Fahey sites the book as an inspiration. Take a look at his hand colored prints: http://www.richiefahey.com/HC1.htm Is that the look you are after?

My suggestion is study the images of the era, and then seek out a lot of tutorials on color and lighting and when you shoot, shoot with the post process in mind, not the other way around. Get a clear idea on what these images look and feel like, color, tone etc and then from there you can start learning by trial and error. There is no quick solution. Learning a process takes time and effort, but its worth it. Sep 07 13 02:42 pm Link Sep 07 13 02:49 pm Link |
