Rob,

The coloring integrates the elements so well. Did you add an overall coloring, such as a filter with some yellow and a tad of a grunge technique? Or else, is the light and texture of the place, out of the camera, just like that. This fusion and unity of elements effect reminds me of an image by Maggie Terlecki, where a cyan-like filter and texture was added.

Hi Asher,
I actually don't use a filter to do this cyan colorwork. I use layers of color, noise, texture and blending modes, then mask to keep the rich oranges/yellow/reds etc., and then add vignetting. I think what is similar is that Robert's work also has a color that brings a certain flavor to his images - moving them away from exactly how the eye sees to how it makes you feel. His end result feels much more masculine and grittier, but I think that works amazingly well with his images. I must say, too, that being compared to anything he does (even in the slightest) is quite an honor for me. Thank you.
