Photoshop

After importing my images into photoshop I was quickly able to see that I had to do quite a lot of colour editing as I had done my photoshoot over the course of an afternoon and was using the light from a window, so the sun changed over the hours I was there, which created different tones and colour hues on my subjects skin. To compensate for this I use the adjustments tab in photoshop and used the 'exposure', 'brightness', 'contrast' and 'saturation' tools to play around with the colours and make them match each image. 

I also cropped the images down to help with the framing.

I had a slight issue with the composition, as when I took the photos I was too focused on the subject and when they showed expressions to notice the framing at some points, which meant that I ended up with some odd areas in the background. 

An example of this would be in one of the photos I had cut a photo frame in half, which distracts the attention of the viewers from the main subject of the photo. 

To overcome this I used the clone tool to edit out the photo frame from the edge of the image, so it's just plain wall. I also cropped the images down to help with this.

 

I wanted to try out something that was inspired by Amy Friend, and I was thinking of trying to incorporate star signs into my work but when I did it ended up looking tacky and so I decided that it would look better without.
