I thought I’d upload 1 more image from the shoot with Harrison (my 6 year old son). The colour adjustments were all made in CS4. It’s the same concoction of flour, water and food colouring as in Surfacing . This was actually the first photo I took of him in the session.
Now all I need to do is think of what I’m going to cover him in next…
So did you add the red a blue colours in post-production or was that the colour of the food colouring?
The red and blue was in post production. I channel swapped the original red and blue channels to get the yellow, then I duplicated the layer and colorized it til I got the red then made it a layer mask and painted it in.
