Smile Amazing Grungy Photo: Can you figure it out?
Hi guys and girls.

I have come across this amazing grungy photo of a kickboxing school. I want to know if anyone can figure out how it was done. We want to do something similar for a client in an upcoming photo shoot.

There are some insights on their Flickr page but not much. Ideas?

Ty - Muay Thai (by hangingpixels)

Here is the Flickr URL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hangpin...7622443023032/

A tutorial like this one might get you started: Flickr: Discussing OT - EUREKA!! the Dave Hill LOOK!!! in Strobist.com

Generally, aside from good lighting, my thought is that it looks like a lot of sharpening / clarity to create that really gritty texture in things like the wraps.

Lighting, oversharpening.
