Color Grading and Creative Retouch of a photographic shoot on a real location high above the roofs of Berlin
Germany’s Next Top Model usually does high-action shoots on complicated locations to challenge the models. This time the shoot was a night shoot with the model flying high above Berlin’s roofs in the cold winter. Sublime was asked to bring the dark background to life and integrate “popping” colors creating a dream-like scenery.
The original image.
Step by step.
As the background needs a lot of alteration and the model should not be affected by it, we need to separate the model from the background.
Now the background can be brightened slowly. It is a difficult task, as there is little color information left in the dark background.
The result. The girl blends into the dreamy misty background.
