Post Processing - What's been done to this

very briefly it looks as though she's increased clarity & contrast, possibly sharpened and decreased saturation. Possibly she's gone a little further with selective desaturation of colours and some split toning
 
Looks as if there's some pretty serious lighting going on during the shoot as well.

Edit to add: Just had a look at her web. Some bloody wonderful stuff on there!

Thanks guys, do you think she's overexposing during the shoot in instead of using lighting?
 
Hard to tell, but I thin her exposures look pretty nailed and she gets some fantastic light
 
Possibly both? Quite a few of the subjects look back-lit from the halos, and there may well be some Expose To The Right going on if I'm any judge, and some nifty pp. Dunno really.

You could always drop her a line and ask...
 
I've tried that Jon but had no joy :-( suppose its a trade secret besides if I threw out quality work like that I wouldn't tell you either. :-p
 
Well, you'll just have to go and get married in Vancouver then, won't you? :p

(Don't forget to take notes)
 
in camera i would say no flash. Just good natural light (shot with subjects' backs to the sun) and exposed for skin.
 
Thanks for all your comments, as soon as the sun makes an appearance I'm going to try & give it a go.
 
regarding pp, you could get that look easily with ASE4 or Radlab. There's nothing too radical. Main work is in-camera.
 
Thanks for the advice, I'm struggling to find anything about these on Google.

What are they?

Thanks
Rob

ASE4 is Alien Skin Exposure 4
Radlab is well Radlab, a set of actions supplied by Totally Rad. Both act as extensions (in one form or anther for CS5).

Personally I'd rather be able to develop the affect myself and apply. I know others disagree
 
VSCO is good but its best as a starting point - making your own presets using VSCO as a starting point gets great results for me. I don't think the pic in the OP is VSCO though unless its a modified preset. There's a bit of a blue hue to the shadows which is easily done on most editors.

I agree with that I use it as a starting point, only had it a few weeks but I'm liking it. It has made my work flow quicker.
 
Defo. So much speedier when you can get such good results from inside LR:)
