Final Images Presentation Ideas
Mind Map of Ideas
For my final photographs, I wanted to display them in a way that isn’t plain and the same to everyone else, so I went online and looked at different ways in which I could present my photographs. I then picked out a few that seemed to be more interesting and different and made a mind map of those ideas which are seen in the photograph below:
For definite I will be using foam board quiet a lot. I will also use the one with the image at the bottom and then the foam board on the sides to give the image depth. I am still unsure if I will be using some of these ideas as it depends on the size of the photographs.

Final Images For Printing
After having a good look at all my photographs, both edited and unedited, I made my decision on which ones I am going to have printed out to then later on display them in whatever way I want them to be. I have six photographs that I really like but am only going to print out four of them as they are the better ones of the whole group.
These are the top six that I personally think are the best out of all the photographs. There are the four that I am going to print out and present later on;
I chose these four photographs as my final photographs as these photographs show a range of skills and techniques, both camera handling and Photoshop editing skills that I have learnt throughout the course period. The way the colours all compliment each other and don’t contrast each other (apart from the first photograph). The way the photograph is composed, this is the way that the subject fills up the space of the photograph, how there isn’t much “open space”. How there are multiple tones, in most cases of these photographs, and they are very easily distinguished within the photographs.

Final Edits From Photo Shoots
2nd Shoot Inspired By Miguel Ribiero
2nd Photo Shoot
For this photo shoot I used this photograph for my starting point and inspiration.
Miguel Ribeiro cropped out the rest of the face so that only the eye was left. So I decided to use the full face with different angles of lighting and moving around to get the best angle to almost identical to his, I used soft boxes and a medium light spot light which I placed closer and further away from the model to get the best lighting I needed. These are the results from my photo shoot.
2nd Shoot Inspired by Josephine Cardin
2nd Shoot
I chose this photograph of Cardin’s work as it is different and mysterious which caught my eye. For this I had to change the focal length (aperture) to a smaller number and asked the model to make slow and fast movements so that it would create this moving motion wave in a way as if there where more people there which look alike and all moving at the same but are slightly transparent.
These are the results from the photo shoot;
1st Shoot Inspired by Miguel Ribeiro
1st Shoot
For this shoot I used this photograph as my starting point. I found that this was a tricky photography to “copy”, so I used it to change and modify my shoot by still using the hand locked together but spread out and not in a fist like way. Also the lighting I found hard as I couldn’t get the right angles to make it look like Ribeiro’s work, so I also changed that by using a normal light and the tried with flash which gave it a better look but not as much as I wanted it to be.
These are the outcomes from the photo shoot:
1st Shoot Inspired by Josephine Cardin
1st Shoot
For my first shoot by Josephine Cardin, I asked my model to sit on the floor and cover her front and leave her back on show as the image that I chose was a model backless on the ground. This is the image I got my inspiration to replicate it into my own work.
Here are the results from my photo shoot:
