Thanks Lindsay for sharing the technique, I just bought your Creative Retouching Techniques class at Creative LIVE hopping you explained that. No regrets at all, it’s a great class!

Eke, if you watch the video, it was lube. Literally, lube. Like vaseline, KY… anything to give a shiny texture seems fine.

Very cool effect, I would love to know how you got the skin so shiny?

Thanks for the video Lindsay – I found the way you explained things really clear and concise which is a big bonus for these types of BTS videos.

Great photos and a cool idea.

Thanks so much for this, Lindsay! I’ve been wanting to try this technique after seeing it in a Helmut Newton portrait of Alek Wek years ago. I’m adding it to the list of self-portraits to try.

If you have any more questions, I’d be happy to answer them. I am just using a white seamless in the shoot (savage) and am standing on white plexiglass.

Hey guys, yes I explained the entire retouching process in my creativeLIVE, but basically you increase contrast, darken the image, and when you convert it to black and white you drag the reds and yellows to make them darker. Thanks! Lindsay

What’s the name of that plastic on top of the photographic paper she’s standing on?

Not only are you a complainer, you are completely out of line. The OP was making a statement about his experiences with his 24-70 sigma. The OP was not getting into the whole “gear head “sigma vs canon or nikon comparisons. Additionally the OP was positive in his review of the photographer and the concept. Unlike your negative and rude comments. If you don’t like complaints why don’t you start by being more positive and stop complaining.

@Tobert55:disqus – definitely not an appropriate title for the Fstoppers post.. BUT.. She did a full edit of one of the images from this shoot during her Creative Live 3-day course a few weeks ago. Took it from image to final showing every step. I don’t recall the exact steps but it was pretty simple techniques from what I recall. Most done in the RAW conversion (think she used Adobe Camera Raw in this example). – b
