depth of field

studio lighting

portrait makeover


In these two photographs I did my protocals such as the changing the levels and slightly cropping. I then changed them too a greyscale. To make certain features more defined (eyes, eyebrows, hair, lips) I blurred out the skin slightly. Not only did that make the features more outstanding but it makes the skin look flawless.

landscape

For my landscape picture I used the dodge tool to make the lake and clouds brighter.

rule of thirds


In this picture I used the levels too brighten it, I cropped it and I also used the color balance. As you can see the main focus leads to me holding the apple and then to Brandon.

leading lines





In this picture I sat in an area where it your eyes would be led to the main focus. The lines on the right and left lead to me.

softening backround

In my portrait I used the quick mask tool to blur the backround and put the focus on my face. I also used the color adjustments to change my skin tones slighty.

In this photo of Ben I changed the tones to more of a grey/black and whtie instead of color.
