Megan Dillingham/Yuriko Hegay ECU Redux


This set of pictures is a second pass at processing an extreme close-up of model Megan Dillingham in makeup by Yuriko Hegay, which makes use of localized contrast techniques on the lips and eyes.


The "300" process increases contrast and adds deep black, while lowering saturation to give an antique feel that retains presence.


The hand colored Van Dyke print almost looks like full color in this case.


And last, a hand colored warm toned silver print, with tonality like using an X1 filter with Tri-X and printing on Agfa Portriga Rapid.
