This tutorial by Adrian Chudek on 500px ISO details how to create dramatic, long-haired portraits using Photoshop.
Start by choosing a suitable location and setting up your camera on a tripod. Direct the model to toss her hair while shooting multiple frames to capture hair from all angles. Photograph the model's face separately with controlled hair placement. Add an element like burning paper for dynamic effect, capturing various positions with consistent camera settings. In post-processing, meticulously cut and blend hair layers, remove unwanted elements, and adjust the background. Enhance the scene with color corrections and finalize with detailed scrutiny for naturalistic results.
This technique offers a creative approach to achieving striking, composite portraits.
