Ghost, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Originally, this was a pretty typical studio shot of Christianna. I shot this model on a white seamless background using studio lighting with the boys from San Jose.
In Photoshop, I converted the image to the LAB color space. Next, I inverted the L channel. This turned the white background black, Christianna’s dark hair mostly white, her black underwear white, and so on.
I think the overall effect is somewhat dramatic and ghostly, and I plan to try it again.
