How do you create this style?

[BlackBirdNL]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to create this type of images:

Has it to do with the initial lighting or is it a shop thing?

I'd say you'd start with an image with the guy in a prominent position... Then photoshop and fade the background things..

It looks like it's just sharpened a lot and then saved with shitty compression. Looks like a little bit of high pass.

if it's a photograph then the guy will be in focus and the background out of focus

[Mokkan13]

Hmm, Hadn't thought of that.
My experience goes as far as a 10 week photography class which was boring as hell.

It looks like a HDR photograph.

Though I could be wrong.

First of all you need to take a photo of a guy with a lot of lightning at him.

Then you take use of Photoshop CS5's fake HDR editing.

Sharpen it, and save it as JPEG at a quality around 2-5.

You can tell there's a lamp to the lower left of the face of the guy. As far as I can see, that's the only thing used for lighting (besides natural light ofcourse).

And then it's just about getting down to business with photoshop.

Basically this.
And turn up the saturation a lot.

[Dr. Fishtastic]

A lot of levelling, saturation and blur fucking

[dai]

as far the whole lighting process, looks like they've got a silver/gold reflector dish down and to the left of him, bringing out some sharp highlights on his face.

Why are all of you totally ignoring the idea that he was put in there after and the person did a poor job of matching the lighting.

[onox37]

No he wasn't. He is in front of those objects. It's not a photoshop job. I mean, photoshop is used but not to put him there.

I'm not too sure how helpful these are because i have never tried them..

Because that has jack shit to do with it.

He wants to know how to get the effect, not how to place people in a scene and light them.

[UNICQRN]

All he did was put relief on the edges.

Here is an example with a cartoon.
