I lit her with my studio lights to the left and right in front of her, umbrellas reversed. I can see what I looked like back when I was 36. That reminds me, I need to try this software on myself. Must be nice, eh? But this software also looks great for everyone else in the real world who isn’t 18. Let’s keep in mind that this model already had great skin.

So, below I have put several shots, showing off how cool Portraiture is. The guy that talks over them sounds just like Tim Calhoun from SNL, but he is still informative. The company’s website has excellent video tutorials.It gives an edge over other photographers that don’t have this software.The dropdowns have excellent default setups to produce interesting looks.For those of you that are scared by sliders and settings - there is no need! Just use the default then click OK! And now I love it! I can’t imagine going back to the old way of doing it! But I’m pretty open-minded and always willing to try new things, so I’ve spent a lot of time really trying out Portraiture. I would clean up skin on models and use various techniques that were manual and fairly intensive. They kept telling me how great Portraiture was! This was impressive to me, since I was kind of an old-school guy I guess. It was an extremely geeky road trip and we spent the whole time talking about lenses and software. These three guys are great photographers and they shoot models all the time. It started with a little road trip with me, Janus Anderson, Kevin Gliner, and Christopher Ferguson (I linked there to their ports in case you are a model looking for a good photographer). I was picturing that party from Seinfeld when George Costanza had that little cut out from a magazine. I was invited to some exclusive party with a bunch of models here in central Texas.

It’s a plugin for Photoshop and I never got around to trying it until just recently.

Anyway, Noiseware is made by a company called Imagenomic, and they sent me their other product too called Portraiture, but I had never tried it. One of the problems with HDR is excessive noise, and I have ended up using a program called Noiseware to reduce the noise ( Noiseware Review here). That’s kind of my bread and butter, although I also very much enjoy taking photos of people, models, kids, and the like. So what is this story of discovery? Well, some of you might have seen my HDR Tutorial. As with all things now adays, it comes in two flavors: Portraiture for Windows or Portraiture for the Mac. If you decide to buy it, you can use the Portraiture Coupon Code of “STUCKINCUSTOMS” to get 10% off. But I am glad I did – and now I will use it all the time!įirst, before I get started, you can go ahead and download a trial in the background. I have a strange story about how I stumbled upon Portraiture.
