I've never tried this technique so I'm not sure. What do you think, how did they achieve this effect?
Thanks

I think it is. It has the look of a tonal range that has been compressed in an effort to show detail but still maintain a somewhat realistic appearance. It could also be some layer work. I've been able to get a similar look with the following:
-Duplicate
-desaturate upper layer
-negative image upper layer
-gaussian blur on upper layer
-overlay and adjust to taste
-merge. |

Don't think so. Large format film camera probably using a custom emulsion with studio lighting. Most likely converted to digital from slides.
The reason you are seeing an HDR like effect is because of the rich texture of the carpet, upholstery and wall treatments. Probably shot with something like a 22mm wide angle lens. If you look closely at some of the images, you can see a very subtle desaturation effect when the angles change - that's not generally a feature of HDR treatment.
If you look at the very last Amber image, you'll see what I mean.

| Tom thanks for the detailed approach. I guess the lighting did most of the job, as well as the textures of materials. |

Best HDR effects is where you can't tell HDR was used and picture just looks great. Technique should not be what people see first, it is the actual contents of the photo. If someone looks at the photo and says "good use of photoshop" you can just toss that photo away.
Just what I think.
edit: spelling
