Hi everyone. I stumbled across Brianna Graham's work, and really like the colours that she's managed to achieve - incredibly rich, but with very natural skin tones. I'd be interested to know from the PP masters how you think she processes her work. Any ideas?
Here's the link.... here |

Yes - I'm sure she does and, no offense, but if you think those are natural skin tones, you need to get out in the sun more. |

By the way, you might want to think about changing the title. :>) |

Not sure what you mean re 'sure she does' Teafran, but I like the tones she's kept in the shots, they look like they've been shot on cloudy days in winter to me. I get in the sun way too much, I live in a subtropical area of Australia, lol, but maybe thats why I like the nice pale skin!!
Title was intentional to get a few more looks at the post!!

Well, when you look at the images, the colors stand out against the backgrounds and "skin tones". :>) Plus, there's a feature in PS called luminensce (sp?) to use on faces and it just looks like she's over used it a tad on some of these.
There were some other images on her page that HDR was used or, how she did this I don't know, partially used.
I'm probably not the best judge however - I really don't like her style at all. Some were images that appealed to me, but overall - meh...
Later,

| To me it looks like alot of the shots had strobes used with various modifiers. I like her style too. I think some of them really pop the subjects out. Great locations too. |

| i don't think any of those images needed a lot of PP. the key to those skin tones is the lighting, which seems to be natural overcast sky, no strobes (maybe just reflectors). a simple curves adjustment to bump up the contrast and color saturation, that's it. |

This is a very popular processing technique for portraiture right now. I know a number of people that do almost identical work.
There are a bunch of photoshop actions that you can get that will duplicate this look (although you kind of have to shoot for it to begin with).
I agree with Teafran that these aren't very 'natural' skin tones at all, but it does help the photos 'pop' and look more magazine professional.

I always thought girls sat down to PP.
And I giggled really hard too when she said PP masters. ROFL

She teaches a two-day workshop, one full day of which is Photoshop processing. I'm pretty sure she's not using another photographer's actions. :) |
