I'd just use a strobe

+1

#1 looks strobey, but not in a good way IMHO.

The pale is definitely intentional, though not for the strobed look, just the style. No, not luminance or any slider, for that matter.. TY all for the feedback, hope to follow up sooner then later.

Diff color temp + TRA's blackout action = this?

God, no! TRA actions = blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. No offense to anyone else, I use actions in my PP all the time that I've made, just no tra stuff. I'm not comfortable putting it out there what is being done until I know for sure I've got it nailed, and they have a way to go still.

You can say that again!

Definitely has your look about it .. I'm guessing a large white towel used as a reflector?

Saves on batteries, I'm all over it .. pay my airfare & sign me up.

Lowel ID maybe?

Nice job jeremy! If I had to choose I would pick the colored version.

I'll tell you how I would do it... may or may not be the same thing JClay would do.

Well - go on then!

I forgot to add that if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

Just kidding - sending you a PM. Don't want to spill anyone's beans.. Jeremy's or mine!

I like the bw better, as far as how its done I am really not gonna lose sleep over it. If JC wants us to know we will know if not then we won't and will just have to practice more!
nice shots

By strobed do you mean on camera flash? #1 does look like you used an on camera flash where the light fall off is alot, thats why I do not use a flash on the camera....gives that tunnel look where the subject is well lit but everthing else not so much.
To me strobes are used to slightly highlight the subject and to minimize light fall off, if that is what your after then it's not even close...if you are after a flash on the camera look...then it's pretty good.

Like #1. Let me know about the tut...

I am guessing a bright exposure, a multiply layer and some careful selections/masking.

I like the shot Jeremy, but I hate to have to ask... why not get it closer to right "in camera" versus going thru the trouble of making something look as nice as if you had placed a light on a stand anyways?

I do like #1 more than #2 for what it's worth... and do look forward to seeing how you did this... I understnad that sometimes lugging lights isn't always practical...

I like the colored one, but it still looks strobed. I guess with enough PS anyone can make a photo looked strobed. I am unsure what you are going for here. It is a good shot though.

To a client, the first is probably fine; but to a photographer, it just looks like purposely burning to me. Same with the second, except I'd think you went black & white to cover exposure issues. That's just my opinion anyway. I personally wouldn't buy either as a client. (just being honest)

I like #1.
#2, the girl's arm just seems blended in with the back of that white truck..

I like them both. Great stuff.

No worries. Thanks all for the feedback!
