These first edits were based on an "Andy style" edit. They were then opened in Photoshop, cropped slightly in a portrait style and then different filters applied:
Inverted
Radial blur
Solarized
Posterised
These next images were given a square crop and edited in Lightroom, as shown in this screen shot and the same adjustments copied and applied to each image using copy and paste. :
Adam
Charlotte
Emma
Wahid
Still with a square crop Photomatix was used to apply HDR (which I am not very good at!)
The next set were edited in Lightroom as follows:
- White balance: Tungsten
- Autotone
- Clarity +60
- Direct positive preset
- Square Crop 5x5
- Opened in Photoshop and the levels adjusted
I really like the tight square crop. Bloomberg's brief talks about Humanity and I think the different expressions on the model's faces express different aspects of humanity. The images where the model is gazing directly at the viewer are particularly effective. Cropping in tight also removes the issue of the models wearing different styles and colours of clothing. The close crop onto the face eyes and the strong clours makes the images bold, strong, dynamic and open as specified in the Bloomberg brief.
and finally just for fun - the Warhol effect:
