DirkR440 Posted August 20, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, recently I saw a few pictures on Instagram that have a special look, the white color seems to be very strong. It is hard to discribe, but for example this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/BX3Dh9IBuCr/?taken-by=davidbiedert Can anybody help me how to get that kind of look with Lightroom? Thanks Dirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted August 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2017 Dirk - It seems that all that the photographer did was exposure for the girl's forehead. She is perfectly exposed; and b/c she is backlit, the entire background is over exposed. I personally don't like the blown highlights from the digital sensor. But with film this shot would look less blown out (due to the greater exposure latitude, unless one chose to blow them out in PP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkR440 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted August 20, 2017 I know I need to get back to film again :-) A lot of things happened this year so I didn't had the time to do a lot of film pictures. Yesterday I just finished a roll that I've put in my MP more than a year ago. I'm looking forward to see the pictures because I already forgot what I shot with that film. I still like these look, so maybe I'll play a bit around with overexposing the digital pictures... and then hopefully in the future I'll have more time and money to get back to film.

almoore Posted August 20, 2017 Share #6 Posted August 20, 2017 Can anybody help me how to get that kind of look with Lightroom? There's a clue in the hash-tagging of the picture - #vsco. There's a lot of playing around with the saturation and contrast going on there. https://vsco.co/store Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Albertson Posted August 21, 2017 Share #9 Posted August 21, 2017 Take a look at this - it puts the question right up front: https://www.amazon.com/How-Do-That-Lightroom-Quickest/dp/1937538931/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1503329209&sr=1-1&keywords=how+do+i+do+that+in+lightroom+scott+kelby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 21, 2017 Share #10 Posted August 21, 2017 I'd say basically he created a high key image and the applied a gradient filter to the sky. Undoubtedly a bit of burning and dodging on the girl as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkR440 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share #11 Posted August 21, 2017 Thanks a lot. I played a bit yesterday with the Nik Collection and I've used the High Key filter from Color Efex Pro to get this result: Zürich by Dirk Raffel, auf Flickr Thanks a lot for all the answers!

jaapv Posted August 21, 2017 Share #12 Posted August 21, 2017 And now apply a gradient filter to the top 1/3rd of the image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkR440 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share #13 Posted August 21, 2017 I'll try. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted August 21, 2017 Share #14 Posted August 21, 2017 And/or play with the sky color(s) saturation, e.g., using the Targeted Adjustment Tool in LR. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
