This is my final outcome after studying "Moody HDR Portraits" this morning. HDR is shortened for High Dynamic Range Imagery. To get this kind of imagery I set up a medium softbox infront of my model, a snoot behind and to the left of him to light behind him and a reflector just under his face. With my camera set at 1/125 with F8 I got my first image that I would use for editing. I then opened up my image in Bridge, to then Photoshop to change my RAW image to a TIFF. The reason we chose to originally shoot in RAW was because RAW doesnt compress the file and opened the file in Bridge because unlike other image viewing options, Bridge shows the image how it is, as sharp as it can be. I then opened the same image but the RAW formatted one and slid the exposure slider down to -2 and saved it as a TIFF. RE-opening the RAW file. i done the same but slid the exposure slider to +1 this time and once again saved it as a TIFF. I then went in to photoshop and went File-Automate-Merge to HDR and chose all 3 TIFF files. This then merged them together but I was not happy with the outcome so i decided to edit it further more. I chose the 'Monochromatic Artistic' and set the exposure to -1.50, the highligt to 5 and vibrance to 93 to get my final image. I love my final image because of the entire difference to its original image and makes my model look almost unhuman. I dont think I will use this effect again on portraiture unless I was using a model to advertise something or to enhance a landscape.
