What you can do with PictureStyles (nightly fashion shooting)!

 f/3.2 - 1/5s - iso 400 - 100mm - flash in octabox

 Peace out fellow photographers and models,
Yesterday night a model (John), his buddy (Daniel) and me decided to take some cool
fashion shots outside. We had a variety of clothes and a time window of a good two hours.
As I really don't have too much time at the moment, I tried to take pictures that would
look good without any post processing other than the resizing and sharpening. ALL of the
pictures in this post do not have anything done to them other than the great resize and sharpening
photoshop action of Philip Perold, great landscape photographer based in southern Africa.
 All the "color editing" you are trying to spot was done in the camera (Canon EOS 7D) with
PictureStyles. It is one of the simplest PictureStyles available, and you can enter it really quickly,
here the data:

Style: Standard
Sharpness: +7
Contrast: all the way to +
Saturation: all the way to -

 I played around with the color, to make some images look more bluey and others more yellowy.
Pictures were taken with the macro 100mm IS lense, which is Canon's sharpest lense at the moment,
and the standard 50mm 1,4. In some pictures I used a flash set to auto in a small octabox (see
reflections in eyes/shades), in others just streetlamps.

Take a look at the photos and enjoy.
Peace out,
