I've seen this kind of photos several times but i have always been curious about what kind of photo effect it is.
this first picture is taken from the sartorialist's blog. the street portraits featured in that blog are just legendary, you should take a look if you're into portraits and all. i'm kinda wondering whether the lens he's using is a 50mm f/1.4 or anything more pro than that...
this is another picture taken from xiaxue's blog, when she uploaded her wedding pictures. and i noticed the similar effect in play, just that this version seems a little desaturated.
i'm guessing it's about playing with the saturation or contrast of the photo. some effects that you might possibly think of are lomo or film slr effect. i thought of lomo but i couldn't achieve the same effect for the sartorialist's picture, his seem to be more rich in contrast. and with lomo, there's always the vignetting. and i'm not sure about slr...
so wanna ask if any of you guys know specifically the name of this photo effect or if you know exactly how to achieve such an effect...it would be really awesome thanks in advance
i also apologise if such a topic has been covered before.
