Fundoshi Rehash 33 - Black Voile

I know this seems a bit out of order, but I have been updating loosely based on the look of the rehash photos. The extras fundoshi pictures from this shoot only had enough for about 1.5 rehashes, so I just did one. Lazy me!!!!

Once again, I found the originals a bit soft and wanted to change that up a bit. I also purposefully made the originals light and airy. For this rehash, I wanted if I could put a little more mood onto them.

The first change came with just using a filter called Definition....and you can see above what it did.

Next up was using the Edge Sharpen filter and I also added a bit of a dark vignette around the edges of the photos. After that, I used a filter I haven't played with yet called Polarize and really liked what it did. For the final look below, I adjusted the contrast until I was pleased!

Fundoshi Rehash 35 - Deep Burgundy Gauze Part 2

Shots from the original shoot can be found here and here. For this set of fundoshi extra photos, I wanted an 'almost' black and white look.

Since the focus on these is soft, I sharpened them up a bit by increasing the exposure, contrast, black point and a few other filter tweaks. Of course, you can see I used the edge sharpen filter again, making the individual hairs stand out.

To achieve the final look above, I converted to black and white, then backed off of it by about 25%. This left a slight hint of color....and I was done!
