Original full-length frame of a model standing beside a green sport motorcycle under a concrete overhang — Drag anywhere on the image, or focus the handle and use the arrow keys, to compare before and after.

Project overview

The model stands in the shade of a concrete overhang with open daylight beyond it, so the location looks flat. The bike's green, the tiled columns and the skin all pull the colour in different directions.

Transformation details

A cooler grade was applied to the concrete and the sky, with the skin protected so it stays warm.
Contrast was added through the midtones to give the shaded location more depth.
The bike's green was balanced and its highlights cleaned, so it holds as the frame's second subject.
The shadow under the chin was opened up and the skin evened.
