Work In Action

Work In Action, originally uploaded by mark.mortensen.

A coworker bought three of my fine art prints and framed them for his office. Frames are through American Frame and the prints I made on my Canon PIXMA 9500 with premium matt paper. Image on the left are the flatirons in Boulder CO.  Middle image is a new pine tree growth in South Dakota.  Image on the right is a fox cub from last spring in my neighborhood.

Yeah me! I’m selling some of my work.

Grace and Kyle, originally uploaded by mark.mortensen.

Grace and Kyle are good friends. I took both Grace and Kyle’s senior portraits this year. Kyle brought along Grace for his modeling test shots and the traffic cone has a special meaning between the two of them.

Technical Ramblings: Two bare AlienBee B800s with home made barn doors fired at the white seamless background. Background is about 8ft behind Grace and Kyle. One AlienBee B800 in a large softbox camera left. Lightroom adjustments included; sharpening and some touchup on the faces. The camera profile is set to Faithful. Photoshop post work with Totally Rad Actions; Oh Snap! (no defog layer), Ying/Yang to lightening the white paper, Pro Retouch on the faces.

Kyle talking on the phone. Actually my iPhone. I love and hate that device.

Technical Ramblings: Two AlienBee B800s bare fired at the white seamless background. The third AlienBee B800 is in a large softbox camera left. Sharpened and chromatic aberration adjustments in Lightroom. Photoshop CS3 and Totally Rad Actions: Oh Snap! (no defog layer), Ying/Yang (lots of whitening on the white seamless around Kyle’s feet and the stool).
