Vampire

On this photo i have clearly edited this individuals skin colour to make it darker and more vampire like looking. I did this by changing the colour fill and using the burn tool to darken the image as much as I liked. I also stretched two of her teeth out, as vampires are famously known for their sharp unusual teeth. I also cut her original eyes out and pasted some darker, more sinister pair onto her. After this I smudged the red and black in her eyes so it covered the corners of her eyes, leaving no white space. I also used the burn tool on her lips to give them a darker look as they were a bright pink, non-vampire-like colour before i edited them. Lastly I also changed her hair colour as before I edited it the hair was a much lighter shade of blonde, which made her look less scary therefore I decided to change it to a dark shade.  

This image is the closet to the original that I could find. On the 100% original image the subjects skin was a pinky colour and not grey. I edited this myself in Photoshop to give a more vampire looking effect. Her lips were also a light pink colour, I changed her lips with the burn tool to give them a darker, more scary look.

Heal Brush

This image is of Zoe before the photo has undergone any editing whatsoever. As you can see this photo would be good to edit with the use of the heal tool, due to acne around her face.

This image is of Zoe after i have edited the photo on photoshop with the use of the spot heal brush tool and the healing brush tool. You can see that with the use of these tools that Zoe's skin now looks to have improved due to the removal of acne. I also included the Clone Stamp tool. I cloned parts of Zoe's face that were not affected by her acne and pasted over the parts of her face that had been affected, therefore giving Zoe's skin a more healthy look. I also changed Zoe's eye colour from a dark looking dull blue, to a light, mysterious blue. I cleared up some spots on Zoe's neck also with the use of the spot healing brush. 

  

Experimenting with shutter speeds

Below you will find photos which have been taken with different shutter speeds to normal. To capture slower movements, for example a person walking you would have to set the speed at around 1/120 per second. For faster movements such as a car or motorbike you should set the speed around 1/2000 per second. 

Composition Photos

Below are 5 photos i have taken which show distance, framing, line, tilts and eyeline  

In this photo you can see a that i have taken it looking up onto the car. Using this angle creates a sense that the car has some importance due to whoever views the photo they will be looking up to the vehicle.  This image also has tilt included on it as the camera was tilted to the side whilst the photo was being taken. 

In this photo you can see that the use of distance has been included as the subject of the photo is walking down an allyway with quite a distance away from the camera. 

In this photo eye line and distance have been used. Jack, closest to the camera eye's are in the middle of the photo. He is also closer to the camera which gives the look that he has power over Louis in the background due to him being closer to the camera. Due to Louis being further away and looking smaller than Jack this gives the look that he has less importance than Jack. 

In these two photos the use of distance has been used again. One shows an old lady with a slight distance away from the camera, the next photo shows her far away from the camera. Uses of distance can set effects such as spookiness and importance.  

Magazine Cover

Above you can see my finished magazine cover "PREMIER". I have edited the original image by adjusting the brightness and contrast so the image looks less dark than it did before the editing process. I also used the Spot healing brush tool on part of Jack's face to give the cover the most flawless look i could as this would make the magazine look more professional. With the magazine being based around the genre of rock i decided to take the picture with a rock-looking background. You can see that behind Jack is a wall with parts ripped off. This gives the magazine more of a rock and roll feeling as when you think of the genre rock you imagine; damaged, loud and violence which i think my background represents. I also added a main large text to show what the magazine includes and sub stories with a smaller text to show what else is included inside the magazine.

Raw Photos

This was the original unedited version of the photo i took of Jack for my magazine cover. Here are 3 other raw images.
