environmental portraits – best images and editing

I edited all my images in Lightroom, after organising them.

First shoot

Due to the lighting and weather conditions on the day, many of my images were quite overexposed – I combatted this in my editing by increasing g shadow and contrast as well as decreasing exposure.

3/4 shot

Full body shot

In this image, slightly different to the others, I added warmth and slight fade to increase the blue and yellow tones.

Second Shoot

In this shoot I had difficulty with the screens in front of the tills – they added unwanted shadow to the image which made them quite tricky to edit – to combat this in the future I would maybe take the images from a different angle or in a different area.

Adding saturation and contrast to bring out the vibrant colours of the sign and items in the background.

Third Shoot

In this shoot, the same as the last, I had to trouble with the screen in front of the till. To combat this I tried to shoot slightly to the side of it. In my edits, I added contrast and warmth as well as saturation and vibrance to bring out the vibrant colours in the products inside the shop.
