Snowy Serenity - Portrait Photography and Art Contest - WEEK #148

A model posing in front of a powerful sun, after a crisp winter snow, and a late morning thaw. Lens flare adds a sort of “pure” quality to an image…so I added it in.

Tools and assets used:

Daz3D Studio, Iray and Photoshop
Genesis 9 Female Template
BS French Braid Hair
Tiered Dress
Daz3D, HDMI and Photoshop Lighting
MTWT Mountain Road Environment

In Summary:

• I start out with a model template and morph the body physically.
• I put the body into a position, change facial expressions, add makeup, dress the model, add skin texture, props, etc…
• I either can embed the character into the background or wrap the environment around the character, then add lighting and camera settings, like depth of field.
• Rendering time was about 1 1/2 hours.
• Postwork in Photoshop (adding imperfections in the skin, changing atmosphere and lighting, etc…)

Stay frosty people.
