I edited all of these photographs in Adobe Lightroom, as I had never used it before and wanted to experiment with the different aspects.

photograph one

For this photograph, I increased the exposure, as it was quite dark and all of the main features were dull. By increasing the exposure, it allowed for these features to be illuminated, and easier to view. I also increased the saturation, because the colours, in particular, the reds, were not shown as bright they could have been. I then, to increase the compostion, I cropped the photograph, as in the original, not all of the foot was included. This meant, to balance it out, I cropped the other side.

photograph two

For this photograph, I increased the exposure to allow all the important features, such as the face, to be seen clearly and with more clarity. I also increased the contrast, to make sure the expression on the individual’s face was harsher and looked more expressive. I changed the levels of the blue, to allow the blue background to become a turquoise. Overall this meant the photograph was more eye-catching and bright.

photograph three

In this photograph, I increased the exposure, as the original was dark and dull. I then just changed the levels of the blue, to become a turquiose as it adds a pop of colour, and adds interest.
