First, early shooting

You may have seen the star elements applied to many costumes. The work is inspired by one of the most popular elements of the year, the star element. Colorful star projection and model combination, is definitely a very eye-catching creative.

1. Picture selection

Before shooting, the selection of the pictures is very important, because not all the star elements of the pictures are suitable for the theme of the shooting, the use of pictures to have enough bright parts, this position is the location of the model face. Of course, the combination of light and shade is also a good choice (such as the picture of streamer in this group of works).

Note: When shooting, remember to properly adjust the size of the picture, so that the brighter part of the picture hit the model's face.

2. Equipment Preparation

Camera: Canon 5D2

Lens: 24-70

Projector: 1 units

3, Cloth light

Projector to stand in front of the model, because the projection light source light is very strong, but also on the front of the model, the model requirements are high, the model must be able to overcome the glare of the projection, but also pay attention to the model, filming a while to let the model's eyes rest, and then continue filming If the studio is large enough, you can choose to shoot the whole body, the effect will be more shocking.

4, Model Makeup

The make-up of the model is also exquisite. Pay attention to the use of large color block, the bottom of the makeup to clean, because the space is very small later repair. If you have time, try to make the color of your makeup and the color of your slides match the complementary or similar colors on the selection.

Second, the late skills

After the early filming, the late software adjustment is also to make the photos more eye-catching one of the important steps. The following figure is a comparison of the original and post-processing final graphs.

Step one: Raw format shooting

The first time I took a project, I didn't know how much it would be different from what I thought, so I chose the raw format, although the raw format would look dim, but we would have a much larger later space.

Step Two: Overall adjustment in RAW format

This step, adjust the basic parameters and tonal curves. The ultimate goal is to highlight the overall color saturation, highlighting the main model. Cannot let the gorgeous background rob the main body's thunder. The color of the picture is quite rich, everybody can adjust the color according to own liking.

Step three: Treatment of liquefied grinding skin

Then open the image and continue to adjust in PS. First, the skin and face of the model for liquefaction and grinding treatment. Because the projection of the picture magnified will see a lot of grids, in order not to break the details, I wear the skin as far as possible without destroying the grid. However, small graphs may hardly see the presence of these grids.

Step Four: Fine tuning

Because the overall color of the photos has been adjusted in the raw format, you only need to adjust some of the details, using the mask to adjust the curves and optional colors. The color of the photo will be more gorgeous after adjustment.

Step five: Use 50% gray layers to make the picture more stereoscopic

Finally, create a layer of 50% gray layer, the property is soft light. This layer is created to wipe out the main body of the photo, and to give the model a proper light on the face and body, highlighting the model to make it more stereoscopic.
