Rosie Before & After

How to change your granddaughter into a wax doll.

I used a softbox for this one, Camera Left, with an SB-600 inside + a little window light from the same side. Still not quite enough, hence an added ‘sun flare’ via Florabella. You can always add light afterwards, if you haven’t used enough to begin with.

For processing, I used Color Efex Pro – tonal effect filter, initially. Then I overlay the shot with some wallpaper I found on the net afterwards, rubbing out the model with a 7% eraser. Then I added some Florabella textures (Pure White and White Linen) and tried a few Muse actions until l found something I liked. Et Voila. (Half the people who see this say they prefer the original. I’m an unsung prophet.)

More fun with the Gary Fong PowerSnoot. My sweet granddaughter perched on a rustic chair.

This shot was initially posted in a critique group and they found a lot of faults, so here’s the new and improved version. The main issues that were highlighted first time around were: ie I should darken the background, put her legs in shadow and lighten her face. Mission accomplished.

One hand-held snooted SpeedLight and a patient model.
