The edited photos - on the beach

To edit this image I increased the contrast, saturation, and the brightness. This made the colours more vibrant and vivid. Making them stand out more. I also made the black of the tattoo darker so it stood out more and became more of a main focus.  The blurred depth of field helps with the focus on the tattoo and bottle.

I made one of the original images  black and white. Then increased the contrast and saturation to make the blacks darks and the whites lighter. I then used the magnetic tool to go around the bottle, to select it. The I copied and pasted it onto the same place but on the black and white copy. To make the colour more vivid I increased the contrast and saturation again so it stood out more within the image.

To edit this image I added in a subtle lighting effect onto the cigarette  so that all the focus was on that. I then darkened the area around it to make it stand out more. The lighting effect was slightly too harsh and too much. It needs to be a bit more subtle - decrease the intensity.

Once again here I did a focus colour on the cigarette. I did it the same way as the one above, having a black and white version and one with a increased contrast, to the copy and paste it across. I did this with the glasses to make it quirky and there wasn't much different. If I was to redo this it needs to be a bit neater around the glasses, and the centre of the cigarette needs to be in colour as well. The orange of the bottom of it works well and is the main focus of the image. The cigarette works as a leading line and so do the fingers on the model's hand.





Here I increased the saturation and contrast however I did it a bit too much as the model's skin is red. I also airbrushed it slightly on the forehead as she had some red blemishes which stood out. The pose is casual and natural I just need to adjust the editing and then this image would work really well.





Here I made the image black and white, but also to centre in the focus I darkened the edges. This means the only thing in the photo is  the face and hands. I can't decide whether this image is too dark.  The cigarette needs to have a lighting effect on it or something to make it whiter and brighter so it stands out more.

Here I have added a lighting effect onto the model's face. This means there is more focus on it. I have made the edges darker however now the image is too dark and doesn't work. It needs something to make it look different.

Taking this idea of having something to make it look different. I chose a focus colour and a focus section and so made the bottom of cigarette orange. This makes it stand out however is subtle and quirk.
