In this photoshoot I took the photos in St Helier in town whilst it was fairly sunny to be able to capture facial expressions in better lighting. The majority of the people I took photos of were un aware that I was taking photos of them, which is why there are some confused expressions after people realised I was taking a photo of them. I have also chosen to crop some parts of the images to make them more focused on a specific part of the photograph. My best images were the ones where the models were pulling the correct facial expression, such as neutral, I also quite like the ploys where I capture the moment where people realise I’m taking a photo of them and they look directly into the lens.
Unedited Images
I have specifically chosen these photographs as my best images as because they had the best lighting on the models face and in the background/the models had the best facial expressions. These images were also the most in focus due to the camera moving around as I was walking.
Best Images Edited
On photoshop I adjusted the brightness to allow you to see the mode more clearly as the image came out quite dark. Although I brightened the photo I still tried to have a good contrast of the the darker and lighter tones to get the final image I wanted. As well as this I changed the intensity of the shadows and highlights to ensure certain points were more exposed to the viewer as well as drawing their attention to it particular parts of the photo. I also cropped this image on photoshop to allow the model to be in the centre of the photo.
I have edited the photos in black white because the photographer Eric Kim’s photography is all in black and white and he was my inspiration for this photoshoot. I changed the exposure and contrasts to have more variation in certain tones in the images. There HDR toning also helps to make the photos look more dramatic.
