Image adaptation 1

Photoshoot 1 – Water Edge Hotel

For the photographs that I took at the Waters Edge Hotel I’m going to adapt them to take out the bright tones and add darker, and harsher tones as I feel this will add more details to the photographs overall. Furthermore I also believe that this may change the opinions within the photograph in which people are seeing, as negative tones may affect the overall mood of the photo.


Editing process:

I decided to use the software on my laptop to edit and adapt the photographs I have taken. I first started by desaturating the images and then change the levels of the photograph to what each photo suits. Additionally I also adapted the white balance of each photo which added further contrast and detail.




I personally feel that these photos are the best outcomes of the waters edge hotel photoshoot, this is because each photo has specific detail. However although I have stated that I want three photos to have harsh and dark tones I also feel that several of my photographs may look better if they are in colour as they show different contrasts than to if they were black and white.


Photoshop ideas:

For this idea I decided that I’m going to use photoshop ti develop the levels of the photographs as well as change the overall colour. Im going to do this by using specific features in photoshop to create a “3D” effect. Furthermore I feel that I may also decide to experiment with photomontage and create a collage using photoshop.


I feel as these four images work well together as all the colours blend together as well as the image which I used as an extra layer adds significant details; as you can see the stairs at a different angle which creates a more interesting photograph overall. I think I’m going to include these four images across a page in my photo book or one print in my final outcomes.
