Experimenting with photoshop colors for final piece

I have experimented on enhancing colors on a photograph that I have previously taken. I wanted to photoshop this photo because it had a lot of color in the photograph and it will help me on my final piece on enhancing the colors of my photographs that I will take.

This is my before and after photograph.

___________________________________________________

This is the photograph before I edited it, in this photograph I used flash because the room was orange and if I wasn't to use flash the whole picture would look orange. I decided to take this photo because there is a lot different colors in the photograph.

Firstly I was looking around at all the options of what I can do with the photo and I changed the Brightness and Contrast of the photo to make the photograph lighter and more bold.

Then i changed the curves to enhance the colors in the photograph.

Then I changed the exposure of the photograph to sharpen the colors.

To finished the photograph I changed the vibrance of the photograph to make it bold.

This is the end piece o the photograph that I did.

Decide on your focus

What artists/concepts/techniques have inspired you?

- The artist that has inspired me is William Eggleston and Martin Parr because they both use the concept of color, their techniques of using object and changing lights to create color has inspired me.

What are your next steps? What are your intentions? What are your intentions? (What will you experiment with/research, etc)

- My next steps is to investigate more on William Eggleston and Martin Parr and experiment taking pictures with their concept of colors in my photographs. I want to take photographs with a lot of color, so i will be finding objects with bright colors and may enhance the colors on photoshop.

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.
