p.1 #1 · A self-portrait -- recolored to look more organic.


I've always been enamored by the look of LF Kodachrome. The skin tones always look so organic. I love the cyan and orange tones produced by it and just the overall near nostalgic vibe it gives off.

I took this using the Brenizer method. I hated the colors of the original (taken just after sunset), so I converted to black and white. I sampled skin tone colors that I liked, recolored. I did this for everything including the sky (taken from a Wisconsin photo of mine), the ground, and others. I used color select to give the field two distinctive colors, which amazingly turned out very similar to the original but of course with less undesirable colors.

How did you possibly do the Brenizer method on a self-portrait, unless you mean for your setting? This is a really artistic image, and I really love what you've done.

I took the center photo with me in it via 10 sec. shutter delay, and then went back and took the surrounding images.
And thank you! I'm glad that my hours of work turned out fruitful.

Really like the surroundings/nature in this shot.... very cool!

I think that you're face is way to contrasty and you're whole person is a bit soft.

Hmm. I didn't intentionally make it more contrasty but it does seem to be a bit more. I'll fix that. Thanks!

Wow - you have a mastery of post processing for such a young man! One very minor nit, and it's probably just me, lol, but I wish you were barefoot or wearing less clunky shoes! (I don't know why I noticed them.)

Please share more of your work!

Brock, wonderfully done. I love that the horizon disappears into infinity and the falloff of focus is really nice. The soft blues and greens and wonderful as well. Nicely done.

This is very, very cool. I immediately thought of the work of Loretta Lux.

Great stuff, Brock.
