Every woman's nightmare... hair dryer in reverse mode

OK, this was almost an improvised photo while Alizée was
getting ready for our shooting but I spent a bit of time to
edit it and boost every detail of it.

If you wish, you can view some preparatory and some
backstage pictures at this link .

I took this photo in the frame of the "Tour De France Photo "

Model: Alizée Poulicek
Hair Styling: Alain Spaens by Joseph
Master Makeup Artist: Avital Assayag
Fashion Design: Alizée Poulicek
Photography (+ editing): Ben Heine
Location: The Dominican Hotel

This reminds me if an old horror movie I watched once. It basically consisted of all the worlds appliances/cars/basically anything electronic coming to life and attacking people.

Other than that this is a really cool looking picture.

I also made details on her face (eyes, nose, mouth) look more detailed, while softening the skin etc

NadsatBabushka In reply to ??? [2012-05-01 23:03:04 +0000 UTC]

When I was little I used to be terrified of the hair dryer for that exact reason. My mom eventually gave up trying to blow dry my hair after baths and just let it air dry.

BenHeine In reply to AlchemicReactions [2012-05-02 09:30:29 +0000 UTC]

I didn't change the composition, it's still a photograh, I think it would have been a "manipulation" if I had added the hairdryer afterwards for instance, which is not the case. Everything was there, I edited the skin, light, texture etc... This is just pro photo editing, no manipulation

Shikaxshake In reply to ??? [2012-05-01 23:00:57 +0000 UTC]

I used to get my hair caught in the fan that's at the back of the hairdryer; my lord it's terrifying.
My biggest fear about hair dryers is that it might blow up and the fan could easily slit my throat or take an eye out. Horrific.
But good piece by the way! Really caught my attention >w< ~~

It looks like a super realism painting. Did you digital paint over it or use a special tool or filter?

BenHeine In reply to Brokenopenseed [2012-05-02 09:32:00 +0000 UTC]

no, no filter, I almost never use filters, it looks fake. I painted a bit over the pic. Please read my other comments for more info. Thank u
