How does he do this?
This photographer's images have an illustrative look to them http://www.fiscusphoto.com/ Does anyone know how to achive this look? Sep 01 05 08:36 am Link I have no idea, but I like it! Good stuff! Sep 01 05 08:40 am Link med format camera, lighting, makeup, photoshop, and a boat load of money. Sep 01 05 08:45 am Link http://www.davidlachapelle.com the king! Sep 01 05 08:47 am Link I don't know either, but I highly doubt he/she'll share his secret with the world Sep 01 05 08:56 am Link Impressive work. I met Jim about 2 years ago at a studio in Hollywood. Hella nice guy and bright. Sep 01 05 08:57 am Link I have a less severe effect to one of my photos on 22092. THe musician piece. I used a blue filter over my lens and a flash to minimize the effect. THen I took it through a lot of photoshop to bring out the skin tone and other colors through the blue. I softened the overall effect by going over the image with that lens correction (I'm saying that wrong) to burn the edges a bit and a soft omni lighting effect, jacking up the black with the selective color function. I may even have jakced up the contrast in one version. It looks like it was illustrated, but it's not. It looks as though he may have used a circular polarizer in the initial photograph as well. But the rest could be photoshop. If it's not, it's a heckuva job regardless! Sep 01 05 09:04 am Link DawnElizabeth Moderator wrote: Dawn - you scare me.

Sep 01 05 09:45 am Link Go ahead Ronnie. Continue. Sep 01 05 09:49 am Link I worked with Alli and I can attest to her quality ! Sep 01 05 09:49 am Link I've known Alli for about a year now but haven't ever had the opportunity of shooting with her. Believe me, she's on my priority list... Assuming she'll shoot with me, that is... Sep 01 05 09:52 am Link Jeffrey Haas wrote: Of course Jeffrey!!!! When its nicer again, hopefully I will make it your way next summer, cause school is in session and my last big trip is going to be to Milwaukee, cause im gonna be at MikeyBoy's shootout, cause i promised ill be there, but we will shoot!!! No Doubt!!!! Sep 01 05 11:58 am Link The Cartoon look is giving through a multitude of photoshop filters. The main being called The "Highpass" filter, along with different blending modes. Its no real secert. Sep 01 05 12:05 pm Link Those were all graphicaly enhanced for TV commercials. There are a few, if not all on his site that i could swear i have seen in TV commercials. Sep 01 05 12:15 pm Link I do know that the photo of Jay-Z (1st in Gallery 2) is from the Reebok "I am what I am) print campaign.

Using the High Pass filter is a good start, but "multitude of photoshop filters" and "different blending modes" are pretty vague.

It's a fantastic book for hot photography. Sep 01 05 01:43 pm Link Last year I wrote a little tutorial for a guy on the omp message boards who was asking about a similar effect. I don't know if it helps at all, but I thought I'd post the link it case it does. If it doesn't, I'm sorry... I'm retarded from eating paint chips as a child.

I might have never left  Sep 02 05 07:12 am Link That is some nice stuff! I've seen the one for Rescue Me around, but didn't know who it was who did it. Thanks for the link! Sep 02 05 07:46 am Link Take a look at Michael Rosens work ..... #1941 and for that matter Jeffery Scott .... #1980 These are two masters of style Sep 02 05 07:57 am Link Brian Diaz wrote: I would but it would require a lot of writing. Just look up Highpass filter in Adobes CS help or google it - plenty of stuff on it. I wont go into details because like I said the highpass part is no secert but the process as a whole would be rude of me. Sep 02 05 08:11 am Link MojoHamuki wrote: Sep 02 05 08:19 am Link I just did a pretty extensive google search on "photoshop highpass" & "photoshop highpass effects" didn't turn up much of anything except for sharpening. Sep 02 05 01:57 pm Link Ok, aside from the photoshop tricks, such as increasing saturation and contrast. . . Shooting ultra saturated, usually film, get your lighting very good then ad kino flos or striplights for the highlights. Larger formats help, but this is done often in the movie biz. A lot of fairly soft lights, such as china lanterns (yes, in the major motion picture biz thry use $5 expendable paper lanterns. . . amazing but true. . . usually with 2 or 3 250 to 500 watt household type bulbs). There is usually some digital tweaking, but the key is getting the highlights in limited spots and not letting them spill uncontrolled all over. it's tricky, and requires a lot of space and many light fixtures. Kino flos will do this almost every time with a semi-shiny surface to reflect off of. Striplights are not as good for some strange reason, but kinos put out so little light that strobes are necessary some times. Sep 02 05 03:35 pm Link Here's an attempt using multiple PS layers. Thoughts?  Sep 02 05 04:01 pm Link |
