Quite an homage to an artist to be referenced and imitated. Nice work, not quite there but definitely interesting and wow, some of you folks are really critical.

They rather seem to show a lot of the post production overkill. Especially the vignetting. Wasn't that so 1999? I also don’t think that the examples are close to Dave Hill.

They are both taken in diffuse light and have very little contrast. The one of the kid is underexposed too. Dave hills portraits seem to center more around the use of hard light and contrast. sorry. no

I have never ever seen anyone successfully recreate “the dave hill look” and after reading this “tutorial” i have to say that I still have never ever seen anyone successfully recreate “the dave hill look”

for a web site with such high readership I would have thought that darren rowse would have had a slightly better quality filter on the articles that get posted here, given how many people are going to read this bad information.

Regarding the severe fringing.. it can be minimized by keeping the "clarity" slider as low as possible for the image in question. Interesting article and comments.

If you check out his latest work, you will see he has moved away from the "Dave Hill" look that everyone seems to chase like the Holy Grail.
