Photo shoot 3

Image 1830:

This is the original image.

Here I use the spot healing tool to take away any imperfections I could find on the models face and arms. I also used liquify on the models left arm to make it thinner. This is so that it matches trade methods in the fashion industry. The models body shape fits that similar of a proffessional model.

I used a hue and saturation adjustment layer to increase the blue of the models eyes.

High pass has been used to emphasise the the cards mostly. I put it into a layer mask and only exposed to cards to 50% and the face to 15%.

I used another adjustment layer of hue and saturation to intensify the red of lips, flower and bow.

I adjusted the overall levels with another adjustment layer.

I placed an orange filter on the image and only exposed the arms because they had a purple tint to them and it really stood out against the pale orange of the models face.

Final:

This is my final image of the first part of this photo shoot and I am very pleased with the result. The model is clearly exposed and in good detail. The reds and yellows that are prominent in this image are bright and capture the audiences attention. The reds in the background create a warm feeling to the image.

Original image.

I used the spot healing tool to correct the imperfections in the models skin.

Instead of using the high pass layer on the whole image I used a layer mask to only show the extended detail in the models eye closest to the camera.

I adjusted the levels to increase the contrast from the whites to blacks making the image more dynamic.

The middle and right diamond still looked a little grey so I used another levels adjustment layer and only exposed the black to it. This has made them black enough.

I made another levels adjustment layer and used this to highlight the models hair. I used the brush tool and followed the lines that was naturally created by the models hair.

The last adjustment layer I used was a hue and saturation type so that I could make the eyes stand out.

Here I have used liquify and warp grids which are trade methods, in order to move the stomach in to produce a thinner waist. I still think that the hips look too small in comparison to that of the waist so I will probably have to enlarge the hips.

Here I used trade methods again to increase the size of the models hip and thigh, this gives the illusion that the models waist is thinner than it actually is.

I disliked the card that was being used in the image. I have another image that uses a different 'Joker' card which I believe looks better. However the chin and cheek look out of place so I need to work on it.

 

They now look a lot smoother and with the small level adjustment on the cheek the two exposures blend well.

I feel that the red and purple of the shirt and corset need to stand out more because they are the primary colours that the model is wearing.

 

I used another adjustment layer and only exposed the hair to it to give the model highlights.

 

When I looked at the image I found that it was crooked to the door frame, so I straightened it and I think it looks more organised.

Final

I find this image very strong because of the contrast in the tones and the strong and confident posture of the model. the reds that are worn by the model blend in with location and allows the model to flow with the structure of the location. the positioning also helps it because the front leg is nearly perfectly in line with the door frame and the front arm follows the line created by the corner of the desk.
