Before and after
I wanted for the image to not be too harsh in the black and white tones so I made sure to brighten the image enough.
Here I have adjusted the brightness and contrast after turning the original image to black and white
Afterwards I changed the exposure of the image as to slightly darken the image as I thought it still looked too light.
Finally, I moved onto changing the shadows and highlights. I then finally finished it off by adjusting the exposure once again, just to soften the darker tones of black. I do enjoy it being darker but I think I made it too dark so I decided to just adjust it slightly. I then adjusted the exposure once more, just shifting the gamma correction to soften the colour of the suit slightly so that it appears more visible in the final image.

Here I followed the exact same editing process as my previous photo and I am very happy with the results.

In this photograph, I wanted to make myself appear slightly more feminine so I drew on some eyeliner with the brush tool in photoshop.

This photograph isn’t as clear as the other ones I’ve taken but I decided to leave it as it is because I actually quite liked how blurry it is. I enjoy the effect it gives off, although I may not include this as one of my final images.
