ikeda, I don’t know too many places in Bangkok. I only stop there at my aunts house. But then I usually get out of town. Bangkok is such an amazing place you don’t really have to go anywhere to shoot something cool.

HDR can be confused with the illustrative/graphic look when a photo is processed to a certain degree. Most likely it’s a lot of Photoshop work that’s been composited together. I would have to see the photo to get a better idea what went on.

Kimo are you familiar with Howard Huang the photographer? He has a popular book called “Urban Girls”. He seems to use this HDR technique as his signature style. His pictures look very nice with high dynamic ranges and he also seems to do a good job seperating the models from his backgrounds as far as the amount of HDR effect. Do you think that he is using this same technique? Because since he is doing portraiture of models it would seem difficult to get them to stay still for 3 exposures. Any light you can shed on this?

Richard, yes you can but you won’t get the same dynamic range.

If you plan on doing HDR I would not recommend using the studio or a studio, instead use natural environments, like the park or beach, anywhere were you need to achieve high dynamic range is the best place.
