PROFILE<br />
RACHEL LEWIS<br />
working with costuming and a theatrical<br />
type arrangement even though I’m not.<br />
Who are your main clients?<br />
Models and competitive costumers<br />
dominate, and then come a mix of roller<br />
derby, families, couples and everyday<br />
folks wanting pictures to be proud of.<br />
What do you love most about using<br />
<strong>Photoshop</strong> on your images?<br />
Easily one word: PUNCH! I always strive to<br />
get my work in camera as close<br />
as I can to the final product; postprocessing<br />
adds the punch I need to<br />
finish it off. I almost always do my colour<br />
grading in Lightroom first though, and<br />
then move into <strong>Photoshop</strong>.<br />
What tools do you use the most?<br />
I’ll talk about tools and filters as I’m<br />
always using a mix of them. Tools-wise,<br />
I mainly use the spot heal. I remove<br />
distractions from the image on both<br />
the model and the background and<br />
do basic retouching for blemishes, stray<br />
hairs, etc. I’ll use the clone tool to tone<br />
down harsh shadows, which are sometimes<br />
a problem with off-camera lighting, and a<br />
combination of clone, spot heal and<br />
content aware fill to remove major<br />
unwanted elements from the shot. Filterwise<br />
the most common would be pre and<br />
post sharpening. I use these techniques<br />
because they’re what give the images the<br />
punch I like. With pre I’m looking at a<br />
“surface blur sharpen” and for post a<br />
Pro Tip<br />
Get the look<br />
The clarity slider in Camera RAW and<br />
Lightroom is your tool for creating a faux<br />
HDR look or getting the most details out of<br />
the RAW file. Couple that with the contrast,<br />
blacks and shadows slider, increase the<br />
vibrance and you’ll really bring your image<br />
to life before it’s even in <strong>Photoshop</strong>.<br />
