That Gritty Look

Posted on | March 29, 2010 | 2 Comments

In one of the training videos I was watching while organizing my recent vacation photos last weekend, Scott Kelby showed how to create this cool gritty post processing look that’s popular in commercial photography nowadays. I tried this technique on some of the photos from the wedding.

This is the unretouched photo of my cousin ML. (Photo taken by Troy Redington.)

This is the image after applying the gritty effect in Lightroom.

This is the unretouched photo of my other cousin DJ. DJ and ML are brothers, by the way. I know, their parents had this obsession with acronyms. (Photo also taken by Troy Redington.)

And this is the image after applying the gritty effect in Lightroom.

There you go, instant print ad models. (Oh, did I mention how I absolutely love these two cousins of mine?) If you’re interested, Scott Kelby shows how to do this gritty look here.
