The emotional impact of the image is simply stunning. Then the technical challenges you had to overcome are impossible to ignore. Stage makeup being illuminated by that "distraction", the rest of the scene (sort of) illuminated by who knows what? How did you do the white balance/color correction on this one? How did you get that much detail in the shadows without blowing out the highlights?
Thanks, Michael.
That sort of small computer/video game was the only source of light in the whole room. The place was packed with kids awaiting their turn to go onstage, and one of them offered me to turn on the lights, but I obviously declined the offer. It would have messed up the picture.
White balance: since you never know what kind of color temp those machines have, I set for auto WB and that's what you see. I didn't have to do anything in post regarding the color temp.
I exposed for the face of the girl at left, and the only thing I did in photoshop was to brighten a bit the face and hair of the other girl (her face had darker tones and she was a little farther away from the machine's screen).
i love the mix of the classic with the ultra modern here. a beautiful collision, indeed!
Love it! All the technical stuff aside, it's simply a wonderful picture....enchanting....
