| A kind of cool effect is to use a color on the background of your subject.
You can achieve this effect with some simple, yet creative, manipulations of your camera's white balance.
I created this image at the Phoenix. Shooting at the Phoenix during daylight hours puts a whole new look to images that are usually aglow with warm tones throughout. The sun floods through the window from the third floor area pretty much washing out all the warm tones.
In this instance I choose to enhance the effect by using my Z-Ray, in actuality is my Brinkmann high intensity flashlight, to illuminate my bride. I set the camera's color balance to 2800K to balance the warm light tonalities of the Z-Ray which then push the already cool tones to an even more blue.
A quick tweak or two in Lightroom finished the result.
Don't be afraid to experiment. Sometimes the results can be very exciting and unique! |
