Photoshoot 4

Plan

I intend on carrying out a photoshoot to take images of an overgrown bunker overlooking the St Ounes beach. As a response to Andreas Gursky, I will be editing and splicing the images together to form an artificial landscape.

Selection & Edits

Evaluation

I believe the edited outcome of the photoshoot was a success as I was able to create an improved artificial landscape compared to that of my second photoshoot at Fort Henry. I will be including the panoramic manipulated landscape in my photobook. However, due to the length and detail of the image, I will print it out separately as a foldout for the photobook.

Photo Shoot 2 – Editing Images – Continued

This is the editing process of one of the images from the second photo shoot; it involved a lot of experimenting and therefore the image change aesthetic multiple times.

This is the original image
I Applied visual noise, exposure adjustments, and added black bars to cover everyone’s identities.
I then changed the t-shirt colour to blue so that the person on the left is the only person in the image with white clothing.
I then went a step further and changed it to grey so that the person on the left is the only person in the image with colourful clothes.
Next I changed the hood colour from green to grey for the same purpose.
Then I selected an outline of the left person.
I made him more vibrant and increased contrast to make him stand out more.
At this point in the editing process, I realised that the image didn’t stand out enough, so I completely changed direction with the editing process. So firstly I applied a black & white filter onto the image.
Next I selected an area around the Levi’s logo to remove the B&W filter from
I merged all layers, then selected an area and used Ctrl+J to create new layer from it.
Next I added text, I liked the colour negative it creates when text is selected so I decided I will implement it into image.
Then I placed the text behind the new layer to make the image look cleaner.
Then I applied the previously mentioned negative filter.
Then applied the filter to only the front layer.
I also edited the text on the hoodie, from saying LEVIS to EVIL, it helps carry a theme throughout the project.
Here it is completed.

Shoot 5 and edits

This shoot went really well. I set up a fake doll’s kitchen with a stereotypical kitchen set. I then printed out patterns for the wallpaper and floor along with things to stick onto the walls just to enhance the appearance. I used blue tack to keep the doll in place and took images of it using the kitchen. I then used some Halloween fake blood and make up to make the more gory images.
