I attempted to create a distinct contrast between the whites and blacks in these edits. I did this by upping the exposure and highlights and lowering the blacks and shadows. I also added vignette and dehaze.

I struggled to create a strong focus on my subject in these images as there is distraction from the shadows.

These photos were easier to edit as the background was less complicated, so she was more defined.

I really like the backdrop from the sun in these photos. I specifically used it to light up her hair and create this effect.
