Dragan Photograph

After seeing some Dragan photographs I thought I’d have a go myself. This is my first attempt.

Thats a very striking image, poster material!

I know the Bristol Pete has been inspired by his style of post processing, some amazing images on his site.

That is a superb image John. If you don't mind me asking, what processing did you do?

Aye, that I do. I love his work, simply love it. However, it is a hard thing to emulate in that his shots are so carefully lit from the start. It has led me to my own work flow really though clearly inspired by Dragan.

John, nice shot, be interested to read your work flow. I will post my best dragan attempt later when home from work though this ones up there



Pete.

Hi, you can run a Draganizer action by Sharon Lee Core available from here, http://www.atncentral.com/download.htm

And the rest is down to your own interpretation/imagination/adjustments of how the image should look. The time consuming parts are the painting with light etc.

Examples can be found here, http://www.pbase.com/photofixer/draganizer_action.
