This panorama is part of a bigger series (this is Part 6) that will be made in the future. Behind the scenes HDRI panorama portraits of people. More info about this project see at the bottom of this page. Not sure witch direction it will go.
This HDRI panorama portrait is one of friends of me.
Made a HDRI panorama from some friends of mine: meet Gerdie & Jaap
As you can see besides of Jaap’s disease ( since 2005 he was diagnosed Progressive spinale musculaire atrofie or PSMA) they still have fun!
Bytheway Jaap has his own blog you can see it here.
Color correction & retouche by JP van der Burg
HDRI panorama portrait information:
This is a ongoing project and is called (close) Encounters.
The HDRI ( High Dynamic Range Images ) panorama portrait panorama’s are made out of 63 pictures (9 exposures per angle, 7 angles so 63 images are used to make a HDRI portret panorama.
That makes taking the image with some thrill — it could be ruined due to the fact that if the people are moving the portrait could fail. That idea makes it fascinating for me to do it, Its always exiting to shoot. Warn the customers in advance: “we will see in the final image who moved, so do not dare to move!” Until now (almost) everyone has listened very good in the portrait shoots from the last years.
After the shoot the most time consuming part starts: tonemapping, color correction & retouche. The actually shooting is done within 1 minute per pano, post production can take about 20 or 30 hours (or even more).
