In the studio I had experimented with various methods for headshots:
I used a blue and red lighting in the coloured images to give the portrait an affect and edited the images to how I liked it. For example where I wanted the lighting to be, how bright and shading. I then duplicated the image and created a black and white version of the image to create a 1900’s look.
I then done the same but used different lighting which would contrast each other, like the opposite colour to yellow is pink. this gave a colourful affect but also a newer look.
I had done the same but with a different person with different looks, and overall after editing they look very nice, clean, almost as if they where posing for a magazine but also a portrait.
During this I had used different lighting positions for a different look of the image, and still edited all the images the way I wanted them with a contrast of a black and white version.
