Photograph Editing...

I have taken my photographs and now i am at the editing stage.



ORIGINAL PICTURE




EDITED PICTURES

To create the first edit i changed the brightness and contrast of the picture, this made the black in the picture really stand out and the colours look more vibrant and eye catching.
The second edit was made by adjusting the exposure settings. I made the picture more exposed to get the bright white colours in the picture and contrasted that with the deep black. This was achieved by adjusting the gamma and offset controls.

The later of the edits make the picture appear more scary as the figures in the background have no facial features however i do think you loose the camera detail which is important to the shot.

EDITED PICTURE

To achieve the edited picture i firstly started by adjusting the brightness which instantly highlighted the models face and facial expression. This makes the photo appear more personal.
The next thing i did was crop the picture down in order to really highlight the story in the picture. The edited picture shows the figure watching the two models more clearly and it has a creepier effect.

EDITED PICTURE

 For this edit i used the same idea as the previous picture. I started by adjusting the brightness but adjusted the contrast as well. I then moved on to crop the picture, this was to remove the already existing CCTV camera and to make the main subject of the picture more central.

EDITED PICTURE

To create this image i adjusted the brightness and contrast of the picture. I felt it was important to keep the detail in the floor as it gives depth to the picture. I then cropped the picture again as i felt that the subject could be seen more clearly.

EDITED PICTURE


For this picture i started by cropping the picture down, so that it almost looks panoramic. This is one of the closest shots and Ive done this to show variety in my collection. The picture was then adjusted using the brightness and contrast settings. The contrast was particularly important as it meant the black really stood out against the background.
