Nike Look


Several years ago, Nike had a series of advertisements in which they presented various athletes with a look somewhat similar to Joel Grimes work.   That look was what I wanted when I took this photo.
Casey’s look tells the whole story—I am an athlete and I love competing!
Enjoy.
Camera settings:  Nikon D800, 24-70mm f/2.8 at 70mm, ISO 140, f/6.7 at 1/45th of a second with an Elinchrom Ring flash to the right.
Post Processing:  
Lightroom 4—set white and black point and increased contrast, increased clarity and added a vignette.
Photoshop CS5—applied nik Color Efex Pro Bleached By-Pass filter.

  1. You nailed it. This looks like it is right out of a Nike or other sports ad. Her look is great. Good post processing.
