The only photoshop is skin smoothing.

Back in February I conducted a fantastic Mermaid Shootout during WPPI weekend in association with Interfit Photographic. I know, long time to do a blog post, but I thought it was time to talk about lighting and achieving the look straight out of camera.
Image setting:
Canon 70-200L series at 75mm
ISO 400
1/125
f/5.6
BTS: This is the actual set-up for this shot without the green gel as previous post.
IMG_2430 Lighting settings:
2 Interfit S1 strobes
•Key light to the front of models face is the S1 with a 40º grid
•Sidelight is the S1 with foldable Beauty dish w/ diffusion.
Doesn't this just sing Las Vegas of the 60's?!
I thought this series would be fun with kind of a Star Trek retro look, so I added a filter in Lightroom and a little skin smoothing retouching to achieve the final look below. Here we still work with the lighting as is, and desaturate it a bit in photoshop. If you tried to achieve this in-camera, you would end up with an overexposed image, and not a lot of detail. So, lighting correctly to start is the way to go. Then a little vision after the fact.
