Fix-It Friday #89 {Norther Michigan Portrait Photographers}
I have a whole backlog of Fix's to post sitting on my computer, along with an awesome senior session we did a couple weeks ago. I promise I'll get them all up soon, but I just had to sneak this weeks Fix in. I loved working with this photo. I love shooting senior guys and playing with different editing techniques. This week, I kept it simple, though.
After I cropped out the garage door (because, ya know it was a bit distracting!) I duplicated the layer, set it to soft light at 100% and ran Coffee Shop's Baby powder room. I love what the skin lighten and skin glow layers do, so I run them on 99% of all my portraits!
After that I burned around the edges and across the brick at a low opacity to bring it out a little more.. I LOVE the texture of brick! Then I flattened and saved the image, I ran it through portrait professional to brighten and sharpen his eyes. I brought it back into photoshop and duplicated the layer again, set it to soft light, this time at right around 60%. And that's it! I was done.
