More experimentation with my processing. Blown highlights, harsh blacks and blurred visages are the order of the day. Got bored of the usual sharp and "beautiful" pics. Gotta thank Lancey for the noir love.

I always liked this approach.. it has a Daido Moriyama feel to it.

Thanks. Definitely not your typical shoujo/shounen manga though. :bsmilie:

Just checked him out. I guess that's what I'm going for. Though on second thought, I should go easy on the highlights and contrast so as to not tire the eyes. My previous series was likened to Dave Hill's style. (But seriously, I don't check out notable photographers style much. I'm always experimenting with different PP workflow to see which one sits with me. Depends on my mood too) ;p

 

[Baracus]

Ok, so I tweaked the contrast and tonality for a more "pleasing" look...
