This week I joined a colleague on a visit to a factory. While he did an interview I took a series of photograps of the welders and the hall they work in.
The lighting was a challenge, to say the least. But to ‘correct’ them to another result would be wrong in my opinion and I wanted to keep those red-ish colors. After a run through Photoshop, and converting them to the sRGB color space, I think they have come out pretty well.
See a few photos more at my Flickr site here…
The national tv- and radio broadcast company, Denmarks Radio (DR), is on the air with a new drama. It’s about a danish family and a doctor working for ‘Doctors Wihtout Borders (MSF)’. His role is build on a real person, chairman Søren Brix Christensen, from Doctors Without Borders in Denmark. I’m connected to this organisation and I do photographic work for free. Usually portraits, receptions and the like. This summer I made a portrait of Søren, and now it’s posted on Denmarks Radios website….with my name! 
Follow the link below. I guess it’s there as long as the show is running.

Try and work with the blending mode in Photoshop. It can better the appearance and make the colors in a photograph look stronger.
Overlay (Text from Adobe Photoshop CS3 help menu)
“Multiplies or screens the colors, depending on the base color. Patterns or colors overlay the existing pixels while preserving the highlights and shadows of the base color. The base color is not replaced, but mixed with the blend color to reflect the lightness or darkness of the original color.”
The example show how the blending mode affect the photos.
Notice how the contrast appear more saturated in the lower part.
