Help?

To My followers,

I want to thank you for kind words and appreciation of my work. Every ‘like’ and reblog I know of and has brought me such happiness.

These days I have not been able to find any time to really work on the things that bring me happiness. I truly miss how free I used to be to create, and how creative I felt.

If I’m being honest, I have not the best knowledge of getting the word out about my work. All I really post on is tumblr and I have such great followers but I know I haven’t done all I could do to share my work with the world. This is where you all come in hand.

My dear fans/followers and friends, if you could do me the huge favor and reblog this post or any of my posts and tell the world with me I could really use you now more then ever.

josephbrotherton asked: Hey Ryan, I like that picture of the lady looking into the mirror, if you don't mind me asking how did you get the great light into her eyes. Really like your stuff, cheers Joe

Thanks man! That’s my fiance actually :)

When it comes down to editing my photos I rely a lot on using photoshop to manually go in there and bend the ‘curves’ for the best image. This requires a lot of manual effort. For this specific image of Samantha looking in the mirror I had her facing out my window so the natural light would be hitting her face; I used a heavy duty portable light you could find at a hardware store inside my room as well pointing at my ceiling (this sort of bounces the light off into different places).

So simply put, that picture used: natural light (Samantha facing natural light), synthetic light (portable heavy duty lamp), & last but definitely not least manual light manipulation using photoshop (specifically the ‘curves’ option). Oh! and using the ‘dodge’ and ‘burn’ brushes on specific areas you either want darkened or highlighted. Hope that helps!
