You Know You Have Missed Them...

Stefan and I know you guys have really missed... LUMIPro Spotlights! For all of our new comers here is how a spotlight works:

You guys post your awesome photos in LUMIPro's Flickr Group. Periodically Stefan and/or I will pick some of our favorites and feature them on the blog. If we do not pick one of your photos don't worry, there will be other spotlights!

So why don't we give this a try...

Well we need all of our LUMIPro Lovers to help us once again. If you love LUMIPro as much as we do, please show us your support by nominating us for Favorite Photography/Media tool once again.

Art Mimics Real Life

Now that the 2016 release is out, I thought i'd share a photo I shot tonight using LUMIPro.


Sometimes to get inspiration i use my tumblr of RL photos.  For this shot used this photo


About 15 minutes to get dressed.  30 minutes tweaking a pose using anypose.

If you notice the light is coming from the left and right side of her legs.  I used two projectors and used the blue light to add just a touch of lighting for her shoulders.



I set the windlight to 100% dark and the gamma to 0.01.

Here is the raw shot before photoshop


15 minutes in photoshop and done!

Total time little over an hour.  Thanks Sammie for lending me your booty and your patience.
