Photo Essay

Photo Essay: To me, I think that a photo essay is a series of photos that together becomes a story.

There are different types of shots:

Medium Shot:

A medium shot is an image that get's closer to the action, and generally tell what the story is about. in medium shots the subject is generally shot from the waist up.

Low Angle shot:

A low angle shot is take from below the subject of the photograph, this has a impact on making the subject more powerful such as the photograph which makes the girl look much bigger than she is.

High Angle Shot:

A High angle shot is taken from above the subject of the focus, this can have the effect on showing more of whats been looked at and makes the viewer of the photograph look much more powerful like looking over the image.

Detailed Shot:

The detailed shot is a much closer photograph, which is a tighter detail that are relevant to the story. In the photo below the detailed shot is the topping of the donut.

Close up shot:

The close up shot, or portrait shot is the subject of the picture that is in focus, the photos are mostly from the head down to the neck.

Trying new styles on photoshop.

Photoshop Experiments!
Black and white background with colored outline.
I opened up my photograph and clicked on the 'Lasso tool' and outlined the piece that I wanted to be colored and copied that, then I closed the photograph and opened it and changed it to black and white and then I pasted the colored layered on and put it in place.
Using photo filterFor this I used photo filter to change the color of the photography, it shows that changing the filter can have a impact on the tones of the photography, the first photography I used yellow filter and it makes the photograph look warm and sunny comparison to the second photography where i used a blue filter it looks gloomy and dull.

Adding Text to Photographs

How I Added Text to one of my photographs

Step 1:

I choose the photography that I wanted to put text on.

Step 2:
I choose the text tool which is the tool with the capital 't'.

Step 3:

Then I typed in what I wanted to write, I wrote 'Will they always be friends'.

Step 4:

Then I choose the font that I wanted to use which was 'Lucida Calligraphy' on Italic with the font size 24.

Step 5:

Then i clicked on the layer that my font was on.

Step 6:

Then I decided that I wanted to change the color of my font to red so I clicked on the color box and choose the color red.

Step 7:

Then this is what it looked like when I changed the color to red.

Step 8:

Then I made the font size bigger by holder 'apple & T'' which is free transform and rotated it a bit.

Step 9:

Then I added textures to make it more bold.
Then i tried to save it however i didn't realize that the photo is too big to save so photoshop crashed but i have noted this problem and next time I will make sure that the photo can be saved and that it is not to big.
