Dreamboy

Today's image continues the posts of Alan from my recent shoot. This image has been processed in Photoshop to look like a solarized image. To create the effect I used the Photoshop Curves dialog and elevated the dark end of the spectrum while leaving the rest of the spectrum alone.

A gallery of Alan with solarized images has been added to my website today. The gallery is called "dreamboy".

Solar Craig

Another in the series of solarized prints. This print is a solarized version of a previously unposted shot of Craig Davidson.

Satin Surfer Solarized

This is a solarized print of a previously posted photograph of Craig Davidson. Solarization is a printing process that exposes the photographic paper to so much light that white areas turn black and black areas become over saturated and turn gray.

A fellow photographer suggested I try the process on the photos of this particular model whose skin I likened to satin. The solarized print emphasizes his skin texture.
