In this piece I wanted to keep the vivid colours, so all I did in terms of editing was change the exposure so the figures were more dominant.

All my other photographs had been rectangle, so I decided to change it up and have this in the format of a square. I added some noise to this photo as it gave the pink filter more of a texture on the models face. I also decreased the exposure as it made everything slightly darker except for the models face which, in turn, made it stand out.
