Portrait Photography Toning


I’ve been working on some new cross toning options for portraits. My days of toning and cross toning images goes way back to my days printing black and white and using “alternative processes” to tone the prints. Black and white silver prints were toned not only for look but to make them more archival. I toned most of my prints with a light sepia, brown or selenium bluish tone. I also experimented with toning prints multiple times to get mixes of color. Now, I do it all in Lightroom and Photoshop. My results are much more predictable at this point!
