Joan Tapley, a living survivor of the German occupation in Jersey came to our school to tell us her really interesting stories of how it was like for her living in Jersey during the occupation and how she and her family survived it. After that she was kind enough to let us photograph her and take portraits of her in the schools studio, so i chose the best one of these portraits and i edited it to make three different versions of it.
The Original Photograph
This is the best portrait i chose in the end as i really like Joan’s pose and face texture along with the great angle in where there’s some clear light on her left and then on the other side there’s a reflection of light, so this adds so much vibrancy and color to the photograph.
The Edits:
1)
first thing i did after choosing the photograph i want to work with is change the colors in it by adjusting everything from exposure to temperature manually until i came up with this really colorful portrait
2)
after editing the photograph i imported it to Photoshop cc where i embedded a frame behind it and binded them together to produce this really alien like color feature to the portrait and it really caught my eye so i decided to make it one of my three final edits
3)
Using one of light-rooms automatic filters i turned the original photograph into black and white, then i did some changes like raising up the contrast, after i was done editing it i embedded a frame on top of the image o make it look like an old style image.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the purpose of this blog post is to improve my editing skills and to prove how many different forms someone can create from one photograph.
