Ideas for lighting effects

[ticktoast]

Hello~!

So, my friend asked me if I could take her senior pictures since most places charge through the roof

Now, I do have quite a bit of photoshop experience and I've done all the basic touch-ups. However, I want to do some different lighting effects to give them a more unique look. So I thought I'd show you guys the picture and see if you could help me come up with some ideas.



Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! She's so pretty and I really want to do her senior pictures some justice!

Monte Carlo.... I don't know whether I should consider you a troll or a PS wacko..... lol...

Tho this is not in-line with the discussion, I'll let this stay for a laugh....

Just don't over do it all over the forum......

I put a pink filter over, cut her out from Original. then I tried, realized changing the left side would be difficult for myself so I incorporated the pink around the picture to blend nice. I think it makes it Unique. Just an Idea.

Do you mean different color adjustments? I don't think lighting effects is a good explanation of what you want.


I did a color adjustment so it's not so yellow, added a very slight high pass filter overlay and very slight vignette.


For this one I used this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFl5iut3lFM

Tons of options!

Maybe a softer effect and up the saturation a bit.

Another option is a false depth of field!

Liked Jessica's depth of field and also used the HDR toning and used the following: Hue & Saturation, Exposure, Colour Balance and Vibrance - also did some burning and dodging as well to bring out the colour of her lips and skin tone and darken her hair...
