Here are three different shoots with three different color temperatures and contrast levels. Each shows how color and contrast can effect the look and overall mood of the photograph.
The first image is a much warmer shot with a hint of green to give a unique vintage feel. The second shot is very low-contrast with a more neutral color to evoke a soft carefree emotion. The third shot is much more dramatic with a rich blue and high contrast adjustment to feel very moody. It definitely gives the feeling of dusk.
It can be really fun to play with light at different times of day with different color balancing to help add to the model’s attitude and the feeling the viewer takes from the image. You can create these different temperatures in many different ways ranging from kelvin temperatures on your camera or RAW editing software, gelling lights, mixing different color balanced light sources or playing with filters.
These are just a few examples of limitless possibilities.

Oh, a hot summer day, a beautiful playful model and some melting ice cream. Yummm.
No retouching, just simple beautiful light and a great ice cream parlor location in Washington Park, Denver, Colorado. I love when shoots lend themselves to such natural, fun, relaxed shooting. It really is why I love this job so much!

Here is a photo shoot I did for Public, LLC, a Denver letterpress printing and design company. This was a portrait of the owner, Roger Maynor, styled in an old-time printer look. Roger was shaving off his beard from the winter so we took advantage of the long mustache and styled him up. He’s planning on using it for a bit of advertising and a portrait on his website and possibly blog below. Oh and he happens to be my fiance as well… lucky girl!
