A Perfect Lie in Photoshop #2

Cameron — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 15:16:19 +0000

Last year our friend and contributor of Abduzeedo Cameron Rad did a video tutorial called A Perfect Lie in Photoshop in which he showed us a really cool skin retouching technique. Even though the that tutorial was already cool he wasn't satisfied and spent another year trying to come up with a killer way to do skin retouchin. In this Photoshop Tutorial Cameron will present us what he has found out over this last year of Photoshop experiments.

Well my name is Cameron Rad and I am a freelance photographer and graphic designer from Los Angeles, California. Um that's really about it. Not much to rave about. :P Oh and yes my last name is Rad. And no it is not short for anything. I proudly stand by the fact that I have the raddest last name.

Photoshop Quick Tip: Overprocessing in Photography

Cameron — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:50:21 +0000

Tools such as Photoshop and Lightroom have allowed photographers to manipulate images in ways once never imaginable. These innovations have lead to increase of photographers known for their "surreal" imagery or extreme processing. One artist quite known for his processing is Dave Hill. You may remember us covering Dave Hill in previous posts. This "Dave Hill" look is most common in band photography.

In this tutorial I will show how to get a similar effect to this HDR/XDR/Dave Hill look in a few quick steps. I want to point out that Dave Hill spends hours upon hours compositing, retouching, etc to his photos and that I'm not saying that this is the technique that Dave actually uses.

Lastly; for best results, use strobes on your photoshoot. For example, expose for the background of your photograph then use a strobe to fill. This allows a far greater tonal range.

Here are some examples using this method:
