Kyle, originally uploaded by mark.mortensen.
Kyle sitting down on the job. I’m starting to think I’ll never get through all of the photos from the session with Kyle. I’ve been at this session for the last 3 weeks. Uggh! After I’m done doing the post work magic I still have to go back and select my picks for submission to my iStockPhoto portfolio. This will include key wording all the images and that is a big undertaking. Another unless bit of information about this image is it was taken with the wicked cool Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II at 33mm. With a full frame camera shooting this lens at 16mm is a lot of fun.
Technical Ramblings: Two AlienBee B800s in large softboxes camera right and left. Lightroom sharpening and clone tool work on the skin. Photoshop CS3 and Totally Rad Actions; Modified Oh Snap! (I’m now calling it Mark Snap!, basically I removed the Defog layer as I feel it over sharpens the image), Lights On (painted a mask over Kyle and set at about 40% opacity), Pro Retouch (smoothing of the skin). I also did some additional clone tool work to remove the outlet.
