playing with color :

-

much of the learning curve in photography

has been the extreme ways you can adjust film

(well, digital imagery)

after you shoot it.

-

for example,

nearly a year after shooting them,

i found adding a vintage feel by dialing green into the lowlights

and softening the highlights with gold,

gave this shoot 

a whole new appeal:

-

-

and dialing a bit more blue into keifer grimm

gave him a slightly more menacing edge:

-

-

and that, basically,

even someone named Nero

can take a bit more black in the shadows:

-

-

most of these experiments are on skin tone,

but you can see the range,

and i promise,

i'll keep expanding.
