The People Collection has had its first two entries published. Black and White sets the scene for both of these images as the subject matter is similar in formation. The first image above is one of my favourite due to the composition and simplicity of the subjects. Closer examination of them reveals characters and expressions that without the capture would have been missed. The image was corrected slightly in lightroom 2 and then exported as a PSD to Photoshop CS3. In there a Nik Filter; ‘Silver Effects Pro’ was used and then local adjustments to contrast and structure were made. A vignetting and un-sharp mask completed the black and white look. A slight amount of noise was added to give the image the type of feel I wanted to portray, that of an older photo shot using conventional film and not lexar digital as was the case with the Nikon D3.
