Does anyone know if this type of image editing has a specific name? Also, any information on how to achieve it? I can tell the background has a lot of work with the "shadow/highlight" filter. As for the subjects themselves, there's a lot going on and it's a little difficult for me to decipher. I posted a couple links below to samples of ones I've come across. Thanks for any and all help!

In this site, John uses the effect on mostly ALL images. Some seem more intense than others.

This site uses a lot more PS editing for the backgrounds. But, the people are still real photos, just edited uniquely.

Welcome to the forums SD_Surfer.

What you are asking is the world, perhaps this thread will help illuminate it somewhat, but without a fundamental knowledge of PS it won't be easy, it's not just post production that goes into images but careful shooting in the first place, coupled with post production.

I figured this much. I'm a Multimedia Designer with a large action sports corporation and am always looking for new methods/treatments for images, video, etc. I've got a pretty strong understanding of PS.

This particular method seems to becoming more popular. I'm basically trying to see if there are any tutorials, guides, list of effects used, etc or someone willing to share how to achieve these types of effects. Thanks for your reply!!

Hi seem to me like HDR but i may wrong with an HDR you can make the photo like this also with the filter High Pass and Curves in photoshop.
For the Hdr there was a filter named Topaz Adjust and also if you shoot the photo with defferent exposure -1,0,+1 you can then use merge to HDR command in Photoshop.Hope this helps a bit ;)

Thanks for the reply Saphire. HDR seems to be what I'm being pointed towards. I've been doing a lot of research on it and layering different exposures in PS is a large part of this. I'm going to schedule an athlete for a shoot and see what i can come up for this. When i finally do accomplish this feat, I'll try and post a basic method of execution for future interests.

Thanks again!
