One of the things I like about the experimentation that I have been doing with models is creating environmental portraits…. capturing the subject in their environment.
I snapped this shot of Mr. Pritchard on our Karijini trip. I liked the soft tones of the background colours.
OK. OK… So Neal is not Tahlea in a bikini….

Photography is my passion... I've been doing it since I was a kid and my old man taught me how to use a B&W darkroom.
I love learning new things and pushing the envelope.... and I'm happy to share what I learn with anybody else that shares the passion.
I’m thankful he’s not in a bikini.
Tahlea he is not but a great shot of Neal mate!
You seem to have a knack for catching folks unaware … I think thats the second time you have caught me unaware … I always prefer those shots to the standard “stand here and smile” shots folks take …
The clarity on this image stunning and I love the soft pinkish tones in the landscape you have used … Did you use off camera flash ?
All Neil needs a Peter Lik hat and he could be his twin.
UN-Believe-able LOL 🙂
beat me to it Matt, Likky has nothing on this macho man. This guy looks like he only needs one shot!
Yep Lik twin for sure lol!
Nice work Brent
What post processing have you done to the photo to get that result?
Hey James
Well to start with, I shot the image at f2.8 so all the blurring/sharpness was as it was captured in camera.
As far as processing I did the following
I Added a Calivinize layer to create the warm mood (this is the trick I demoed at Karijini).
Then I added a Freaky detail layer
Then I did some curves to darken selected parts of the image
Bit of vignette
Final sharpen
Thats it.

Is there a reason his legs, hands and chest is shaved? 😉
this looks weird…
@ Matt Lauder – haha Neal would have to cut off his sleeves too!
this is a stella shot.
so good to not have to look at another pic of fletch! 😉
now u just need to make an film on Neal to match that of Likky’s
