Funky Senior Portrait !




Harrison, a high school senior from
Vermont poses here for a funky-sort-of
modified head shot.

The main light is a modified "snoot" which
localizes the light on his face. This also
forms the bold shadow from his nose.

Nice job Harrison

Convert Color Photo to Sepia Toned

New England Studio Blog
How to make a photo look better in Sepia:

Step 1: Choose a photo that lends itself to being toned. Some work better than others.
Step 2: In photoshop, simply desaturate most of the way. Hue/Saturation>saturate>move slider left, desaturate according to your preference.
Step 3: Add some yellow and red then adjust your sliders

With some creative cropping and increasing your contrast levels, you can turn a "normal" photograph into something much more striking.
