Before I will premiere my brand new PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE nude set, with the stunning A Nameless Woman (which is set to be released in the beginning of February by the way πππ») - I promised you to showcase the results of my little competition from this post. π
The rules were simple: 'You were all given five free raw-files of mine, from the photoshoot, to process the way you felt the most'. π€
So basically you were all given completely opportunities to edit just the way you wanted. π€·π»ββοΈπ₯³ I've looked at all the entries which you send me and it's interesting to see both how different they are - but on the other hand; how similar they are! π π I mean, it's clear that some of you are focusing on the same things and retouching the same areas etc, but then in the toning are going completely opposite ways. πππ»
Enough talk, let's just head straight into your submissions:
Patreon Supporter Jonas Olsen:


A semi smooth retouch, low contrast colors and minor liquifications to the body, it seems. π Strong vignette was choosen to focus on the model, I guess?

Patreon Supporter Tony - Ciao Bellezza:


Two submissions of the same photo but with different cropping. βΊοΈ He went towards black/white (which I did myself on the original series), and I really like the outcome of this one. The skin retouch is cool with little to non liquify to the model.

Patreon Supporter Michael Egebjerg:


So this one is interesting, if you ask me. π Going with a slightly green toning, is dangerous when playing around with model photos, since it's quickly going kinda "toxic", you know. Luckily Michael went with a bit of yellow too, which helps it. I see no real skin retouch, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. βΊοΈ Michael told me that he didn't do any work in Photoshop - it's only toning in Lightroom (as I recall his message) π

Patreon Supporter Mathew P:




Compared with Tonys black/white submissions, these ones are a bit more "harsh". The contrast are turned up, making dark areas more dark - and vise versa with the bright areas.
I think it works too, because it has it's own charm, you know. π Furthermore it's interesting to see Mathew choosed the outdoor photo. I don't know why, but most of you didn't pick and submit that, so it's cool too see he did. ππ»

Patreon Supporter Jan T:


THIS is something special! πππ» It seem that Jan went all retro and went the "filter way", which I really like. π₯³ Good subtle skin retouch with analogue vibes, which looks really cool. βΊοΈ

Patreon Supporter Christian K.:


Interesting take on the outdoor photo: To convert it from horizontal to vertical! π€π»π Job well done. ππ» A bit of liquify was done to the body, slimming it a bit. A matter of taste obviously. βΊοΈ You went for slightly cold tones on the indoor nude photo, which is an interesting take, since it's two opposite things if you think about it... π You wouldn't be naked if it's cold. But it works!! ππ»

Patreon Supporter Martin L. J.:



Nice skin retouch with semi-low contrast toning. The photos are cropped a bit more up close tho, which for some viewers makes it a bit more interesting, since all the "waste" space around the model ain't there. πππ»
A blend of cold and warm toning has been done.
-----------------------------
THAT WAS IT, FOLKS! π₯³ππ»
Thanks for participating in this fun little game. βΊοΈ There will be many more in the future, so stay tuned, since the raw-files are timed exclusives for PREMIUM*. (*Afterwards they are only available for tier 3 supporters)
To all of you who wrote me telling that you were worried of others looking at your submissions; Don't be. βΊοΈπ€ It's super fine to be a newcommer or simply just haven't tried it before. That's what this is all about.
NEXT CHALLENGE IS SET TO RELEASE IN FEBRUARY AND CONSIST OF FIVE PHOTOS FROM THIS EPIC NUDE SET WITH REBEKKA KAARIS!
For future games: All submissions shall be send to mikkel.laumann@gmail.com
Now, let me know in a comment what you think about all the wonderful submissions or maybe get inspired to join for the next round! π₯³ππ»
