The other day, I shot with Sazze, a beautiful Czech model. I wanted to create a moody, film-like atmosphere. She understood the concept perfectly and "acted" instead of striking the pseudo-sexy poses. I cropped the images 16:9, but after editing, I still was not happy with them. So, first time for long, I thought I'd try the "Analog Efex Pro 2" again, a plug-in software for Lightroom and/or Photoshop. (Unfortunately,) I really like the results. They're just what I imagined. But at the same time I feel bad that I was not able to achieve this look by my own means.
How do you feel about these little helpers?
It's time to turn towards the real human beings and leave the glossy crap behind.
