I learned this fun way to make a flat color image pop from years of shooting for the subject of this photo, Mr. Mac Estelle. I posited back then that actors had their faces painted light blue to help it register correctly on orthchromatic film. In this photo, I tinted his face WAY blue which darkened it dramatically then desaturated it. Then added some warmth to give it the right amount of tobacco stained age.
