Photography Question 

Andrew Laverghetta
 

Have you seen America's Next Top Model?


This is a digital imaging question and has to do with image editing used in the TV series, America's Next Top Model. I am refering to the the current cycle and episode 10 where the models had to create their own outfit from things found around the photo shoot in South Africa. You can see some pictures at:

They showed a few clips while they were shooting and noticed that all models had about the same lighting or color temperature in their photos. What was done in the editing to give them the special colors they had. For instance, a goldish cast, similar to late afternoon, was given to a blond model with curly hair. There was also some bright sun highlights on her hair that weren't there on any of the other models. One wore leaves and it looked like it had a special green cast while other models covered in mud had a blue, early morning looking or cold blue cast. How do they get these colors? I assume they're using photoshop. I've seen past episodes where they are obviously using digital medium format because you see the cameras and they're watching the pictures appear on screen after they take them. Any opinions would be great.

It's a tv show. They take a few hours cut done to a few minutes. Light changes. What you saw wasn't necessarily what was the one chosen to show be the display photo.
But color shifts, or out right changes are easily done with level,curve,hue, color balance slider.
