TABLEAUX PHOTO SHOOT 2 AND EDITING PROCESS

Here are the raw images from my second staged photo shoot:

Editing

Sticking with the style of Paul M Smith, I am going to edit these images to be slightly under and over exposed in certain areas and a washed grainy look to resemble film photography.

Again I took multiple photographs of the same frame with the same subject in multiple different positions in the shot.

Firstly, I selected the images I wish to use in the final edit. With this final image I wanted to have the subject in the frame five times, so I needed to select five images that work together when layering them. Here are the images I chose to use:

After I selected these images I layered them together and blended them in a way that looks most natural and not out of place. This required more blending and layers than the first shoot as more raw images were used:

After this I exported this image and put I into Adobe Lightroom. Here I edited the image so that the shadows were lightened and the exposure was increased. I also added grain and texture to the image as well as a slightly warm hue similar to my first tableaux shoot to resemble that of a film camera:

Here is the final outcome:
