Studio EXPERIMENTATION Edits

Leave a comment

Here I wanted to experiment with long exposures (therefore creating motion blurs) and the coloured gels together, which is parallel to Hicks work.

Examples of Long Exposed photos taken by Jake Hicks^

I first wanted to crop my image in-order to make sure that my model was more centered.
I then went and blurred out the remaining deep shadows in the image so that the background wouldn’t distract the main point of the image.
I then decreased the contrast and increased the brightness in order to emphasise the motion blurs and highlight them.
I increased the highlights to the maximum and increased the contrast slightly to again emphasize the motion blurs.
Here, there was a little piece of the curtain still showing at the bottom right hand side of the motion blur so I went back with the brush tool to erase it.

Here I once again picked a neutral spot in the curtain and using the brush tool I made sure the background was one solid colour.
Here I decreased the brightness as I thought that it was effecting the quality of the image and increased the contrast to make the gel lighting stand out.

I started off by centering this image so that the image would fall better into the rule of thirds.
Then by using the the brush tool I got rid of the curtains inequalities using the brush tool
I quite like this image due to the striking impact created with the motion blur and the fact that it fits perfectly into the rule of thirds.
