Hummingbird Wing Eyelashes #1


Model Mimi Graczyk, hair and makeup artist Yuriko Hegay and photo stylist Susan Page prep for the last setup of the day.  Yuri designed the look around the the eyelashes.


The final touch is a custom necklace from Susan's jewelry box.  Mimi's ability to keep her eyes open with the weight of the lashes is nothing short of remarkable.


This fist version is a straight beauty process workflow using Photoshop, Lightroom and Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

The "300" Antiquity process is one I like to try with every picture to refine the look.


Finally, this is a new cyan/sepia split tone process I'm exploring.
