Presentation of Images P5

The reason I used the photo above is where I have edited some of the colours, they now fit the purpose of Autumn, as now there are red, browns, and a hint of different shades of greens. The original colours were very bright greens which are not the colours that I wanted to originally show. I've added text around the image, I got the different ideas of text by looking at different examples of magazine covers on google. Finding ideas to put up for a 14 year old boy was a bit trickier then for a 24 year old women!

I chose this photo because of the brightness of the blanket gave a contrast of colours and stands out. It also goes with the colours of Autumn. I also like the contrast of having the black and white tint on the rest of the photo and some parts are brighter/dimmer then other parts of the photo. This blends both black and white with the red a lot more. One of the downsides of the effects of this photo you can't see the actual colours of the clothing, but I thought instead of always having the same thing every time it would be good to change the editing styles. This photo would be on a cover of a photo magazine, and possibly have it again in the inside but with the original photo without the effects. 

This photo was chosen because the background mainly has the colours, red, green and orange/brown. All the colours symbolise Autumn. Most of the writing placed around the photo are thing that a teen boy would be into. I like how the model isn't posing too serious. He is more relaxed which is the kind of effect that I wanted for the photo. The background is a little out of focus but this helps draw your attention to the model instead. 

I chose this photo because I liked how relaxed it was. How the model is sitting on a old wooden bench reading a book. I tried to make the models look as natural as possible. This photo is more stylised as the photo is enhanced al lot more then the others. The leaves that hang over the bench and lie across in front help give it more of a natural look. The writing around the picture isn't normally how would be presented on a magazine. I originally decided to put the black highlight on the writing because you couldn't see the white writing on the photo. But after I applied this, it made it stand out a lot more and its different. 

This photo was chosen because the background has the sepia effect. The model has been immune to the effect on the background as I wanted to separate him so they will focus on what he is wearing and attract people to what to know more about it. All the colours symbolise Autumn, in both the background and the writing. I like how the model isn't posing too serious. He is more relaxed which is the kind of effect that I wanted for the photo. The background is a little out of focus but this helps draw your attention to the model instead.

Examples of using Photoshop  

For the two photos above I used colour isolation on the boots. I also zoomed in on the boots in the second photograph.

For this photo I used colour isolation on the blanket used, I also used cropping.

For this photo I used colour isolation on the scarf.

For this photo I used colour isolation on the hoodie. This does not stand out as much as the other photos, but I think it also blends well with the saturation. I used the cropping tool to get rid of any unnecessary scenery that is not needed. I added text to show what my product is.  

In this photo I used the cropping tool to make it smaller. I used an exposure tool to turn the brightness down. I used a tranquil affect that made the photograph softer and added a slight blue tint to the photo. I added text at the top to show what my product is.

In this photo I used the cropping tool to make it smaller. I used the exposure tool to turn the brightness down. I used a sepia affect on the background and the tree, then made the subject the regular colour so he stands out more. I added text at the top to show what my product is.

In this photo I used the cropping tool to cut out some bins in the background. I used the exposure tool to turn the brightness down. I turned down the saturation to -100 and then reversed the effect on the subject. I added text at the top to show what my product is.   

In this photo I used the cropping tool to cut some unnecessary scenery in the background. I turned down the saturation down to -100, then I used the paint brush tool and put the colour back in the photograph, only on one half! I added text at the top to show what my product is.

In this photo I used the cropping tool to get rid of any unnecessary scenery in the background. I turned down the hue so there was more red, orange and browns in the photo then used the paintbrush tool on the subjects to give him his original colour. I turned the brightness down as the photo was over exposed. I added text at the top to show what my product is.

Working Step by Step

First I chose a photo and opened it up in photoshop. This is one of the photos that will be in P5 but will not be edited the same way. 

I then went to the sidebar and clicked on Hue/Saturation. I then went on to the Saturation and changed it from 0 to -100. This made the photo black and white as shown in the photo below. 

Then using the toolbar on the left I clicked the paint brush tool and and changed the size of the Paintbrush. I then added the blue colour back into the jumper on the model. 

I then zoomed in on the photo so I was able to reach every corner of the jumper and colour it in blue, also trying to avoid putting any greens back into the background.

I continued this process until the only colour was on the jumper.

I then went to the tool bar on the left and chose the Text tool. I created the title of the photo-shoot which was 'Autumn Fashion'. I then changed the size of the writing to 130 pt. I kept the colour of the text a simple white colour as I only wanted one thing in the photo to have colour.

I then saved the photo to my desktop and uploaded it to blogger. 

First I chose a photo and opened it up in photoshop. This is one of the photos that will be in P5 but will not be edited the same way. I then went to the sidebar and clicked on Hue/Saturation. I then went on to the Hue and changed it from 0 to -75. This made the photo more red/orange and the model turned purple/green. This is shown in the photo below. 

Then using the toolbar on the left I clicked the paint brush tool and and changed the size of the Paintbrush. I then added the previous colour back onto the model, as I didn't want to have a purple/green tint on him. 

I then zoomed in on the photo to colour in every detail without putting the regular colour back in the whole photo. 

I then went to the tool bar again and clicked on the Crop tool. I used this tool to crop out any unwanted parts in the background. 

I then went to the tool bar and chose the Text tool. I created the title of the photo-shoot which was 'Autumn Fashion'. I then changed the size of the writing to 150 pt. I kept the colour of the text a simple white colour.

I then saved the photo to my desktop and uploaded it to blogger.

 Skills in Composition

All photos taken are at eye level. I chose this angle because you are able to see every part of the photo really clearly.

The background it mostly green with a few bits of brown to help the contrasts of colour. The colours of the background help symbolise Autumn.

The rule of thirds applies to all the photos on the left as the subject is along those lines and is the most important part. This adds balance and interest to the photo.

All of the elements are balanced in the photos as the subject is sitting towards one side of the photo and their are other elements around her.

The way the photograph is framed is with the leaves and the trees in the background as they are all similar colours which helps draw your attention to the main point of interest. 

Skills in controlling image exposure, focus and using lenses.

The meta data above is what was used for the last photo on the left. All the photos on the left were taken with the same lens shown in the meta data above. 


For a few of the photos I had to adjust the brightness as it was quite a bright day which made the image over exposed. 

The lens was on manual, so I had a manual focus to help make sure the whole photo was in focus other then having the main subject in focus and the background as a blur. 

Skills in using lighting

As I was outside the lighting was High Key. The subject is hit by multiple key lights which gives it a realistic look to create an upbeat mood. This helps set the scene and keep it natural.

The meta data above is what was used for the first photo below. All the photos below were taken with the same lens shown in the meta data above.

For a few of the photos I had to adjust the brightness as it was quite dark which made the image under exposed.  

The lens was on manual, so I had a manual focus to help make sure the whole photo was in focus. This lens gave a human effect.

Lighting P3c

We set up our lighting with three different lights. One of the lights we used a diffuser which was positioned behind left to the subject. The second and third lights were positioned in front of the subject, one on the left and one on the right.   

In the photo above we are using high key lighting. There are no shadows on the face and 

Chiaroscuro 

Contrasting effects of light and shade in a work of art. Leonardo da Vinci brought the technique to its full potential, but it is usually associated with such 17th-century artists as Caravaggio and Rembrandt, who used it to outstanding effect. 

Low-key

Low-key lighting often uses only one key light, controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector. Low key light accentuates the contours of an object by throwing areas into shade while a fill light or reflector may illuminate the shadow areas to control contrast.
