From Photo-shoot to Finish Piece
Last week I met with the high school youth pastor to talk about their upcoming Beatitudes series. After throwing around some ideas we both agreed on doing something that involved a strong image.
He quickly volunteered the in-house school of discipleship students to brave the heat for this photo shoot.
Out of over 100 pics I took that morning, I ended up going with this overexposed one shown below. I'm sure this would make most photographers cringe, but it really worked with what I wanted to do. The wireless flash on the floor gave it some interesting lighting.
I brought the photo into camera raw to do my initial image processing. Best part about this is that it's non-destructive editing. Bumping up the clarity gave that shadow look behind the models. The rest of the processing was done in photoshop.
Before finishing the photo-shoot I took individual head shots of the models. We later decided that these would make great posters for the room.
Big thanks to the students who helped out on this photoshoot and those from the CMLAB who helped me finalize this project.
I have included a low res PSD file here if you are interested in seeing the rest of the image processing. If you have any questions feel free to ask below.
