I had one shot of the groom and decided to work on it with CS2. Just to see if a studio quality photo could be taken in a groom's bedroom with a flashgun.

Shot was taken with:

5D + 35mm f/2.0 on moooosst likely f/5.6, ISO100 1/160 L JPEG Manual Mode and Focus

Canon 480EX Speedlite bounced with 1/8 ISO100 17mm built-in diffuser


I went for the plastic look since I am fond of that. My wife sed there is a weird tint on the face. Somehow I believe she is right



a closer crop of the headshot

Weird tint definitely. Does not work. Look very plastic.

Definitely dun look like studio.

yes i still have lots of miles to cover on the plastic skin issue.

how plastic is too plastic? i personally am fond of the plastic skin look at times but as yet have no idea where to find a tutorial that would teach acceptable plastic-skin look.

and is the weird tint all over or at the groom's right cheek? i find it strongest there.


thanks for the comments! quite appreciated~

I prefer the portrait orientation.
