Members' Photos: Busby Wilder shoots Ariel AnderssenGuest Galleriesstory with photos (62 photos) starring Ariel AnderssenAdded 10-12-2015Tags: ballgag, rope bondage, barefoot, blonde, lingerie, nipple clamps, nude, ungagged Our friend and RE member Busby Wilder got his hands on Ariel this fall, and he's been kind enough to share some of the lovely photos they took. I think like many of us when we're just starting out with something, he's bursting with ideas but a little overwhelmed by the technical steps you need to translate that vision in your head to something which at least roughly resembles it on a screen or on paper where other people can see it. He said the thing which he struggled with most was processing the photos once they'd been shot, so he's asked me to put together a tutorial on photoshop/post-processing, which I'm putting together now. It is only when you sit down to explain what you do that you realise there's a lot of steps in going from a good shot on the memory card to a polished and finished photo to put on the website- there's a whole bunch of controls to twiddle, and the best results always come from a circular process of tweaking one thing in the direction you want, then counterbalancing it with another to pull back some over-the-top thing it has produced. It made me realise that stuff I now do by instinct- adjusting the colour temperature, saturation, vibrancy, exposure and tone curves all together in a push-pull process- was something I had to figure out how to do. It's that sort of thing which lets you keep warm skin tones, without pushing the whites of the eyes to orange (which I hope Busby won't mind me pointing out has happened with the Antlers shots in particular). But what's the main thing to take away from looking at Busby's shots? I think it is that with a great model and an eye for a photograph, you can make some super fun and sexy shots, whatever your level of (in-)experience. I know both Ariel and Busy had a great time shooting these, and I hope you really enjoy looking at them! |
