Grace and Kyle, originally uploaded by mark.mortensen.

Kyle is back! I’ve not processed many images lately as my “real” job has been keeping me really busy lately. This is another image from the series I did with Kyle for his modeling test shots. Grace is his friend and should probably get into modeling as well.

Technical Ramblings: Three AlienBee B800s with two pointed at the background to blow it out and one in a large softbox camera left. Post processed in Lightroom with some minor sharpening and then to Photoshop and the Totally Rad Actions; Oh Snap! (no defog layer), masked out the contrast layer so Kyle’s dark suit has one additional contrast because it just goes black, Pro Retouch on the faces, Eye Bump on the eyes, Dodge! to whiten the background.
