2019 Hotel Series - Grey Voile Fundoshi - The Pink Opaque 1

Well, well, well. I found a fourth set of photos from this shoot in a grey voile fundoshi that needed processing. Usually, I take enough photos to get 2-3 sets to produce with different looks. I guess I was enjoying myself during this session! It seems (because I have actually forgotten and don't have a good backup of the new software I'm using) that I used a filter called 'Orton Effect', maybe some fog and I definitely added a light pink tint to the originals. Who knows if I will ever reproduce this in the future? For now, there are two sets processed this way, so I hope you enjoy set number one.

2019 Hotel Series - Purple Voile Fundoshi - The Bed Shoot - Black and White

The last photographic look of this series of a purple fundoshi was entitled 'harsh'. For this set, I simply turned the same settings into black and white. No real effort at all - just a simple button.

2019 Hotel Series - White Voile Fundoshi - Wet - Harsh 1

Going in a completely opposite direction from the last look of these photos from the wet shoot in a white voile fundoshi. I severely increased the edges, details, contrast and all sorts of other little things to come up with this look.

2019 Hotel Series - White Voile Fundoshi - White on White - Black and White 1

In this set from the white on white voile fundoshi shoot, I went for a deep black and white look. I played with the mid-tones a bit to keep the fundoshi the whitest part of the photos. This worked better in some photos than others, as you will see.

2019 Hotel Series - Brown Voile Fundoshi - Dusked 1

This treatment of the shoot wearing a brown voile fundoshi went to a place between the light of the exposed exterior and the dark of the room. I used settings that keep the focus sharp, but softened the over-all look of the photo. If you've been following, you will have seen this approach before, though this is the first time I played with it along with a darker look.
