Tutorial Tuesday | “Dragan” Effect

Filed Under: Family, Photography, Tutorials Tagged With: dustyn

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday! Ashley of Ramblings and Photos and I will be bringing you a new challenge every week, to stretch your shooting and editing skills. This week, Ashley thought we’d check out an effect she found the other week while looking for tutorials called the “Dragan Effect” inspired by Andrzej Dragan‘s work. You probably know this particular effect if you’ve seen the movie “300.”  I have not seen the movie or heard of this so I was excited.
First thing first…let’s watch the video tutorial.

Now head over to Ashley’s blog to see her lovely work step by step. Here is what I came up with a photo I took of Dustyn about a month ago. Also can you believe he is going to be 4 tomorrow??? Craziness!! I still need to take his 4 year old photos.
Here is the Originial:

My Color Edit:

My Black & White Edit:

I really love how it looks in black and white. I think it turned out good. I can not wait to see your photos.

Here is the original beside the color and black & white edits.

    I think yours looks better than mine - much more natural looking. I really like the black and white. Great work.
