IMAGE SELECTION:
final selections with 5 star ratings
In the photos below, I have put all of my images from a couple of my photoshoots onto Lightroom. I plan to choose one or two photographs from each shoot in my photo-book. I flagged and rejected which images I wanted to keep or delete first. I did this by zooming into each image to see if the composition and focus. After sorting through all the images I then colour coded all the images from individual shoots so I can differentiate the images.
I also began to rate my images from 1-5, by comparing each one to each other. I only rated images from 1-3 in the beginning. In the left image above, I filtered out all of the images that where 2 or under and began comparing the 3 rated photos. I used the compare tool to have a greater feel for each images focus and quality. The tool allowed me to compare two very similar images to pick the best looking one. The image on the bottom right is the kind of editing style I am aiming for; it is very indie’ and teenage like, the fading and colour vibrance reminds me of what is assume a vivid memory would look like in my mind. It is also an image directly from Corinne Days book, Diary.

SELECTION FOR FRONT COVER:
For my front cover I would like to use an image of myself, linking to the fact that this is my diary. I have a couple archived images in mind which I would like to use, from my trip away in Gdansk, Poland. they where taken by my dad and are very ‘free’ and candid. The images from this event are a true representation of me as a teenager, and will be of high importance when I take a look at this project in years to come. My final image I have chosen of myself to act as the front cover of my photo-book is the image number 3, below. I will edit the photo just like the rest of my images inside of the book.
I think the overall colours in this image are very mellow but bright and the palate of colours is very aesthetic: The edited and final cropped image is to the right.
