It's high time to put some proper sex appeal to my summer self portraits! Tanned, sweaty skin, flushed cheeks (the butt cheeks too) and messy hair, what more could you want?
I had these pictures stashed on the hard drive for two weeks already but only now had time to finish them. I usually go for pretty neutral colours but I'm trying to learn more of how Photoshop can improve my work, so I played around with split toning, without really even knowing what it means. I just fiddled with the dials until I got something I liked, and also went for quite a lot of saturation and detail to produce a pretty intense look. I used a reflector to get the light because the sun was already too far down and I only had a little ray of it that I could reflect onto me, and I think it worked out pretty well to create a sort of spotlight.
Me by me with the Nikon D7200 and Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8.
This very different to your normal work and I like it!! Great to see change and development!! Hard work will always pay off!!

I would advice against such things, there are so many people in public beached, but if you know a private one, then that is fantastic!

Please tell us what split toning means when you find out. I might need that information myself.

Do you mean tonal contrast? Or frequency separation? Both techniques allow you to work with specific layers of a single image. Colour/texture or light values.

I don't know what @eveuncovered meant. She said it's something you can fiddle with on Photoshop.

How do you stay lean... tons of smoothies? 😂

Smoothies rarely, currently I have my mouth full of rye bread and egg sandwich 😅 before that I ate plums and grapes, earlier I had a huge salad, with very little of actual greens in it, and cabbage casserole for "breakfast". Very random, I know 😁😝

Nothing like boob sweat 🤣😂
All jokes aside, these are still wonderful photos. I’m a fan of the way you edited these. Although I enjoy your normal, eerie darkness as well.

Some of that is fake sweat from a spray bottle 😝
Thank you very much, I really enjoyed doing these too 😊

Well that’s a new one. Hopefully that fake sweat smelled like lemons.

Love the subtle colours in the background - complements your skin tones nicely @eveuncovered. I love playing with photoshop - it can turn a good photo into a great one - but never a bad photo into a good one (you still need that eye for a good composition!). Really great work here!

Thank you! :) I agree that if you have a bad photo, no amount of Photoshop will make it a good one. The goal is always to get a photo as good as possible, before any post process.

You "fiddled with the dials". I wish my dial fiddling could turn out that well!

You actually are one of the few people that keeps me motivated to check out the blog wall. Im experiencing a minor 3rd-4th week breakdown in motivation and haven't posted anything.
Nice butt #RealTalk

Awww thank you, that made me feel special! I can understand the lack of motivation, every time the markets go down, it’s dead in here.

This time I can't think of a way to mess with you. So I guess I could try this complimenting thingy:
Eve you seem like one tough cookie.

I like these, there is enough to keep one's attention, but try bringing in a nice rim hat and a chair. The shadows and tones are are good and the model great as always.

Love that you're getting into Photoshop more.
Next step is some lighting. A bit of a glow on your face would be awesome in this series...
