Project overview

The backdrop is grey and unevenly lit, and the dress has a sheer mesh panel, the first thing a heavy contrast lift turns opaque.

Transformation details

  • The backdrop was evened and taken slightly cool so the warm skin separates from it.

  • The mesh panel was worked on its own to keep its transparency, with contrast added around it rather than through it.

  • The stool was cleaned and its shadow softened so it stops competing with the model's own.

  • A standard skin pass followed, with the leg modelling rebuilt lightly.
