Hi everybody,
Here's a shot a took off my humble basement studio over the
weekend. Notice the stray hairs on the top of the girl's head? Is
there any effective way to remove them in PS considering the
background is a mixture of white and brown colors.
Alexander
Cool! I'll try that and post you back the results!
Alexander
Alexander, I'm curious about your humble basement studio since I
have one as well. What are you using for a backdrop? And do you
have a pic of the studio itself? I could sure use some ideas.
Thanks,
Ingrid
You asked for it, so here is my messy studio picture. As you can
see, I have 2 alien bees 400 alonside an Octodome and silver /
white umbrella.
Background is a muslim background bought at the local fabric store
which I dyed myself using Dylon Dyes. Hope this helps!
Alexander
I didn't know you could buy a muslim background at a fabric store,
I had no idea what to do about backgrounds. Been using Renee's
backdrop CD I ordered from her, it works very well but would be
nice to have my own. Yes this definitely helped, you have no idea
how much!
As for my studio, I could take a picture but you might fall off
your chair laughing! All I have for lighting is some bathroom
vanity lights on the ceiling, being a definite amateur they work
for me and I'm not in this to make money, I do shoots but just for
the pleasure of it so I haven't put much money into it.
For a backdrop I have a piece of lineoleum covering the back and
the floor that I just paint different colors. I was using backdrop
paper and painting it but it just created a lot of wrinkles so
tried the lineoleum and it works but of course I just get plain
colors. On the sides I have a white curtain to prevent shadows. I
know how primitive this must all sound to you but it works for what
I use it for. I've obviously never claimed to be a professional!
lol But people are happy with the photos and the price is right
for them.
I mostly do shoots of kids and I have a lot of props, toys, stools,
red wagon, I even got a bale of hay and a saddle, made for some
cute pics.
All this is probably more than you wanted to hear! lol If you
really want a picture I can take one but I will be terribly
embarrassed but on the other hand I have thick skin so who cares,
right? lol Actually the other forum members might vote to throw me
out of the forum if they see it! lol
