294 - Xanetia (Patreon)

There's a couple of people on here who like the more technical posts about photography and process and it's been a while since I posted a Before and After shot so here's a look at a fav from my shoot with Xanetia a couple of weeks ago. Because the sky was a bit flat I augmented it with a sky from a collection I'd purchased and blended the two. I had tried 2-3 skies until I'd found one that felt right and then played with scale, position, and opacity. Below is the image I used. Then played with colour-grading to give the entire image a cooler temperature with blue-green tones.
