Evaluation

    I have really enjoy our digital image sessions and I felt I have learnt a gained a great deal of knowledge on photography, lighting, general camera settings, and equipment compared to when I first started this year I wasn’t as confident with a camera at all and now I feel I could produce decent images and be proud of them. However the only think I’d change is the make-up I did for the shoot, I wish I had more drama on the eyelashes and more definition with the eyeshadow as with the lighting the eyeshadow didn’t show up as much as I’d of liked.

    When it came down to finding inspiration and researching photographers I watched ‘7 Photographs That Changed Fashion’ and took it upon myself to research the featured photographers mentioned. This really helped me figure out what kind of photography style I like, as each photographer had a different style and mood about their work which then lead me to research other photographers work such as my favourite photographer Tim Walker and Nathalie Croquets 'SPOOF' Series. 

    After learning about different photographers we was then taught about post production and how this has effect on todays society, fashion and make-up industry. With post production I found quite easy as I had previously learnt some tricks in earlier education so I knew the basic editing, but it was also helpful to learn some more techniques that can help make your image look better but not in an over edited way.

    Shooting my final images was quite nerve racking at first as I wanted them to turn out as good as I could get them, but once I had got the equipment set up and working I was quite relaxed when directing my model and telling them how to pose and move their face and body. When shooting as well I didn’t just stop after a few images, I made sure I had a few back ups incase when it came to post production they didn’t meet my expectations in what I wanted for my final images and I also made sure I had variety in my poses and composition. Overall I’m very pleased with how my final images turned out and thought both my models did such a good job in giving me what I wanted for this project.

Final Images: Black And White Beauty

    These are my final three black and white images that I took in the same studio space as my colour beauty images using a soft box. Again, the same with my colour images I'm very proud of these images as at the start of this year I wouldn't of been able to achieve this type of photography and I like to think I've grown from these lessons and learnt so much in terms of photography.

    In post production I did the very minimum like the beauty images as I felt like they didn't need to be retouched too much, however I did spot treat the skin and got rid or faded some fine lines on the face to the overall images look softer.

Final Images: Colour Beauty

    These are my three final colour beauty images that I shot in the studio a couple of weeks ago. To start off, I'm very proud of these and my black and white images as at the start of this year I could never of worked in a studio and known what had to be done to get a decent picture and I'd like to think I've produced six good images that show how much I've learnt over the past three months.
    For these images I used two studio lights to light up the background on a very high power setting to make sure I got that soft, glowing effect which is what I wanted to create with these images, and also used a soft box to the right side of the model to set off the background lights. What I also found when taking these images is that this set up can really emphasise and bring out colours, which after looking at the images in post production I learned to really like this effect.
    In post production all I really did was change the contrast and brightness to really bring out the colours in the images. To finish off I took the blemish tool and spot treated the skin where ever she needed it, and used the burn tool to hide the fine lines under the eyes.
