Movie-like photos
Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2007 12:41 pm
This is some kind of "Friday" topic with general discussion rather any tutorial how to do that.
From time to time people say that some photos are look like frames from movies. What makes you think like this? What are these distinctions that changes photos into movie frames?
High or low contrast / Softness or crystal sharpness / High or low colour saturation / Cross-processed colours / anything else?
I’ve found two different styles of movie-like photos.
1. Some kind of cross-processed colours with saturated green-blue colours, deep shadows and non-saturated red-yellows.
2. Some kind of warm, light and soft pictures with no deep shadows but sometimes with slightly blown highlights.
If you saw "A Good Year" movie you saw them both.
But that’s not all. There is something else that I cannot explain. It’s not enough to add these effects in a PhotoShop. Something euphemistic does exists in these photos.
So what's that? What makes photos look like movie frames?
