Juergen tellers look

I had never heard of him but found him by googling. He appears to be a "glamour" photographer for want of a better description. Nearly all of his shots are in colour and look as colour should and his few B&W shots look like perfectly normal and fairly neutral B&W shots
I couldn't find anything I'd describe as golden. It might help if you give us some examples or provide a link to the look you describe. Thanks Mike |

hi mike
Hi Mike Juergen Teller is a fashion photographer not to my taste either but I do like his colours his work was until recently shot on film and optically printed with out any photoshop work examples of his golden look are below http://c300221.r21.cf1.rackcdn.com/a...079809_org.jpg http://pourtous.com.au/wp-content/up...ate_moss_2.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FDzC85YrQX...gen+Teller.jpg |

Thanks for that. I can see what you mean but assuming this isn't a PS alteration then isn't this simply the right set of colours in the scene including hair colour with possibly a slight tweak to the optical colour balance which slightly accentuates the gold look without affecting the other colours.
Not my kind of scene either really and to be frank unless you had put the " golden look" phrase in my head I think I'd have looked at these shots and not been struck by the golden look sufficiently to have commented on it unprompted as it were Mike |

I think the pictures you link work well but like Mike I don't think I'd put it down to a particular "look" or printing technique

Hi Mike and Jake
if you check this NSFW gallery from google images you will see the underlying tone is gold in most of the images as a better idea of what I'm on about some of them are newer and I think he has moved on from this look I saw his prints at an exhibition about 15 years ago and that was all golden and pre digital I have tried dealing down the blue/cyan out of colour prints but there seems to be more to it than that any ideas robin |

Maybe he used a large gold reflector to create the tone of the model?

The skin tones look fairly true and this is the first thing to look strange in a colour print unless the tweak is minimal. Mike |

Or could it be Kate Moss?

How do I link to the NSFW gallery, specifically the images to which you refer?
I looked at the delapidated farm shot with Kate Moss in the foreground and yes she does look at little golden but that I think is a mixture of her clothes, hair and skin which Clive alludes to, I think. The slates on the farm-building roof look fairly neutral and grey as they should. If any colour shows up a slight cast it is grey slates or paving blocks. I am digressing a little now but anyone trying for good colour balance in a RA4 print should try to shoot a picture with a good area of grey or use the famous grey card in one shot. By chance I took a shot of my wife in Malahide where there were grey paving blocks. When I came to print it I did the usual division into 4 sections of 4x5 prints on a 8x10 with slightly different balances and while it was difficult to determine differences in most colours and all 4 looked quite good, the grey blocks revealed slight casts in all but one print which had the neutral grey and was the right balance Mike |
