Hey all,

I'm trying to get to the bottom of achieving a certain look to my photos.

I've seen a few posts about it, none of which have been any real use, as it seems quite a favourite 'look' amongst contemporary photographers.

A lot have people have refered to it as a 'painted' look or 'annie leibovitz' style.

It's characterised by muted muddy tones, a 'soft' feel but still sharp and crisp. Blacks look solid and the picture has a good tonal range but seems 'light'.

Below is a link to work by photographer Laura Stevens.

The style/look I'm trying to achieve is most evident in her series 'another november'

PERSONAL


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
