(9)Photographic Society - Mad Bastards: Aaaah OK, lets put my memory to the test:))))))) Aisha\\\'s hair & make-up took about 5 hours. She was Photographed for 2+hours in the Studio with an Arri Fresnel Kit and an EOS 20D / EFS 18-85 IS at 1/60sec at f5.6 ( Main light was 1K with 80b blue gel bounced off Lastolite Soft White / backlight wass 650 with 80b blue gel / diffused fill from side was 300K, and there was a fan blowing the feathers) Image was Previewed and Converted from Adobe RGB (CR2) RAW to Duotone, adjusted for Brightness & Contrast and Saved as High End Jpeg in iView Media Pro, Image was then opened in Photoshop CS and skin was retouched with plaster and airbrush tools, curves were pulled , Image was then downsized and recompressed (still in Photoshop CS and all on an iBookG4). Aisha\\\'s dress fitting and production planning (including arguments with the designer who wanted her to wear a hideous wig! took hours of nerves even on the day of the shoot) were done in advance. I also had to be extra sensitive to the time pressure the designer and magazine publisher were putting on the shoot and the fact that Aisha had very bad stomach cramps and the pierot style dress was too small and so tight that she could hardly move. My styling/hair/make-up/muse/partner (Annette Krueger <[email protected]>) really helped me and I hope this helps answer your question. Would you like me to post some TechPodgotovka shots next time?

(9) Photographic Society - Mad Bastards: i paid little attention to the significant things and a lot of attention to the insignificant ones.
