Hey all, just did a photo shoot for a local guitarist I know, first time doing an "out and about" session, but anywho, the image. Quick edit on one of the pics. Loved this shot and wanted to do something with it right away. Any advice?
I tend to go for crushed blacks/realy high contrast most of the time - does it work well here, or would a flater image be better? I just noticed theres a little bit of ...something..on the left hand side that didnt go to black, but I'll polish it up later to make sure its solid black all around him.
I also just saw the shadow on the forehead right in the middle above the nose, should I leave it as that? Or lighten it a touch maybe? The 3 top strings of the guitar have also pretty much disappeared, not too sure that matters as you get a silhouette of them instead.
Don't know how much re-touching to do realy.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
