Continuous Ringlight HDR Portrait “Alexander”.


This week Joel shows us continuous ring light HDR in the studio. Joel brings in Jessica Mion to recreate a portrait he did of Alexander Christensen. Using bracketed images, a bit of crafty post production work, and a large ring light- Joel creates some amazing images. HDR, (High Dynamic Range) images, especially portraits, have such a unique look and with advancements in post production, have become wildly popular.
Check out this week’s episode to watch Joel and Jessica create some awesome photos!

    Joel, you never cease to amaze me!

    Why are there no more episodes on youtube ?

    Another brilliant tutorial. I was always under the impression that using HDR on people was not possible. I had always had horrible results. I’m looking forward to trying this technique in the near future.

  • markfeli

    great tutorial, but they look way better full screen on Youtube!!!

    July 4, 2012 at 12:29 pm

    Awesome! Love the new Flix thingy – this way all videos are on one spot and more easy to find. I hope you will keep them here forever ;-) Cheers

    Great Tutorial Joel. Thank you for unselfishly sharing your technique.

    another great episode of the show with one of my fav photographers, I am not sure if the move from youtube to a private page is a good one but at least I found my way to here and to see the new videos

    Great Tutorial Joel, this is the way to go,!!! thanks to FLIX for motivate more and more into Photography,=)

    Video sectio is blank…havent tried my Firefox but shouldnt it work with all browsers?

    Why has the picture and audio quality plummeted on your videos? Your previous content had a much higher definition, and the audio was very good. The new player is very small, and when I expand to full screen the videos are badly pixelated. The audio sounds like I’m listening to a recording of a recording. This is a disappointing turn for the otherwise great content Framed Network provides.

    Shame about low quality. Please bring it back to HD Youtube option also.

    These HDR portraits are the shots that when I am flipping through a magazine or on the web and I seee one I know right away who shot it. Joel, you certainly have developed a very distinctive look when you choose this technique. Nice show!

    Please, keep posting your videos on Youtube instead Vimeo! Thanx!

  • Daniel Wallace

    The video is in 1080p. There is a HD button in the playback bar. Ensure the HD is on for high quality. The Vimeo platform allows for more professional and higher quality videos. YouTube’s system is limiting and unprofessional.
