In reply to Message (22471.4.1.1.1.1.1) Depends what you repaint...
By Telcontar - mrnemesis@ntlworld.com Wed 17/05/06 05:37:51 GMT Skin tone is just about impossible to repaint and it the skin tone that for me is noticeably broken in some of these photos (although it could just be too much make-up). It's taking the subject too close to the animé obsession where people are more in love with cartoon people than real women -- cartoon people where you redraw them the way you like even if it oversteps the boundaries of human physical appearance.
However, it *is* difficult to photograph the shine of wet clothes, perhaps because shine is caused by a mirror-like water surface and to detect it on camera in a static image means that the flash must be placed at the correct angle of incidence to the camera with respect to the water surface (which is undergoing constant change). Personally I'm not one for altering reality in photographs but I can see an argument here in favour of having the shine show up, given particularly that photos tend not to do the subject justice.
This is not what "candid" means, however. There's a clear difference between a photograph of a randon person on the beach, and a photograph of a model where you want to preserve the natural look of her skin and body. I'm personally the type who prefers to see the girl as she really is, with no make-up, figure-enhancing clothes or someone fiddling with the image! I only fiddle with images if I did a bad job with the photograph and what came out was not what I saw with my eyes when I took it :P |

By leonmoomin - leon@mostwet.com Wed 17/05/06 03:49:09 GMT The reason the pictures are re-touched is quite obvious!
It is to bring out the very best of the wetlook from the pictures, it is to make the shine and diference between wet and dry stand out to the max!
Personally I like it, I think that wetlookonline and messyonline have some of the best pictures in wam that really do highlight the wam elements!
If I had the time i would do it to my pictures, but it really does take some time to edit pictures to their standards!
Great work guys, keep doing what you're doing!

By WETINRED - stekz@cableone.net Tue 16/05/06 21:42:47 GMT Website: http://www.wetinred.com I was just saying, D, those are just instances that one might need to do to a photo, and I do know photogs who has problems with all those.But I also know the best photogs who still go thru every pic and make some kind of adjustments. Thats a fact! I don't care what kinda camera one uses, or whose behind it. I didn't mean to turn the thread around, and Tyra with zits?????????????That's not possible Glad u finally took the plunge, Trya |

By Telcontar - mrnemesis@ntlworld.com Tue 16/05/06 19:45:41 GMT Red eye? Whose camera now doesn't have an anti-red-eye flash? If your levels are all that far out of wack, then either your camera's automatic mode is broken (true of mine I think in dimmer light), or you need to take some lessons on photography! Sheesh. Likewise colour corrections -- select the correct white balance mode (my camera's auto WB sucks) or calibrate it if neutral ambience is fine (Tyra's photos for example show no electric light induced cast).
Cropping an image is not "retouching" and resizing is especially not!
What I believe he means is the rather flat, artificial skin tones on her face and maybe her arms, where the natural skin patternation of her complexion appears to be painted out with an airbrush or blurred with Photoshop's blur tool. It does look mighty odd, but could be down to an excessive use of facial make-up that hides skin tone with flat colour, which I also find unnatural. It makes you look like Mr Data off Star Trek or something :) It seems to be very common to airbrush up photos of Japanese girls and it does knock out skin tone.
Maybe Tyra had a bad rash that day or something? Or lots of zits?
But yes, it looks weird and off-putting. Pity. I was just glad that she's doing the bra-less thing now :-) She always did have a nice figure. |

By WETINRED - stekz@cableone.net Tue 16/05/06 17:05:28 GMT Website: http://www.liquidladies.org Every image taken from any camera from every photographer has to be touched up in one way or the other.ie red-eye,cropping,resizing, levels, colour corrections, etc. Also the girls has to approve each one before posting. |
In reply to Message (22471.4) unretouched photos, please
By hello! - Tue 16/05/06 15:13:55 GMT looks like they airbrushed the hell out of you. i bet those pictures were much nicer before the retouching/balancing/editing. |
