The image below has 'split toning' applied to it. Essentially the image is broken into highlights and shadows and then a colour chosen to represent each, in this case a subtle mix of orange and purple before being desaturated slightly. It gives the photo a nice look and feel which looks kind of 1970's to me! Maybe its just the curtains!
Anyway, this technique is very popular with American wedding photographers (as are another load of processing tricks). I struggled to find any wedding photographer in Scotland using a similar approach. Are they just lazy, behind with the times and prefer not work on their images, is it because we prefer far more traditional wedding photographs in this country or is it because the technique itself makes for unappealing photos?
