This is week 3 of the June One Four series. Variation 3 is above. I started with the original image, converted to monochrome, and then messed around with lighting, exposure, and contrast to achieve the above look. I was aiming for a soft look; I find it’s difficult to get a good soft image working in black-and-white. This variation results in an overall look reminiscent of Kurosowa Lighting, with dappled light and deep shadows.
Here is the side-by-side of the original and the current variation.


And here is the gallery of the original and all variations thus far.




That’s it for this week. Come back next week to see the final variation. Don’t forget to check out Leanne’s work this week. For more information about the One Four Challenge, go here.
