Another year has passed! 2011 has been a fruitful year for all of us and what a great way to start 2012 is by giving.
As you can see the original image seems flat and needs tons of clearing. A lot of clutter which basically distracts the viewer to the subject.
1. First we want to do is to clean up the image using the “patch tool-ticked to source”, by dragging the selected area to the cleaner part on the image these instantly clones the texture of the selected part to the new one . Also used was a clone tool (soft brush-opacity 53).
Applying the vignette and some minor color correction we get these. The vignette further emphasizes more towards the subject giving it more impact to the image.
On the Third part I will just be breaking down the layers in elementary description to show how I derived the final look of the Image.
The Project was facilitated by LIGHTBENDER PROJECT Dubai. It was a Charity shoot led by Noel Pangilinan, the President of the group.

DIY Gorilla Skates from Ben Carino on Vimeo.
The Idea came from Kickstarter, the goal is to create an inexpensive DIY dolly that can somehow have the flexibility to create professional shots, rotate around objects, sliding, gliding and panning shots.

My first attempt on 3 point lighting. I tried to deconstruct a lighting similar to Howard Schartz image on Manny Paquiao as shown here: So, Deconstructing the image it We Get:
1. A softbox Above the Subject.
2. A Strobe at the back
3. Another infront.

Another funshoot from the lightbender project. For now, will show the layers Used to achieve the look. I know some some photoshop artist can reverse the the workflow and achieve the final image just by referring through layers. O lazy Me…
Have A great day reversing!

Product Shoots can be costly it involves a lot of time planning and manpower. But in these setup i was able to do the shoot in a frugal, least costly, guerilla-like way, maintaining the class and quality of the Advert! The project was done on a very tight deadline, no time to set-up lightboxes; manpower whatnots, a then and there situation where the client need to see the output within the day.
The setup was quite easy just an iPhone for lighting a foamboard. Another great way to view images in realtime is using an Eye-fi x2 card. These product has been a great help on the project giving me an instant preview of the shoot directly on Lightroom see setup HERE.; giving wireless tethering on any apple, PC, any IOS devices or any android devices. GOOGLE IT!
Another Great work from RG.
