final print plan

For my first final print I am going to print out three pictures from my studio portraits shoot, using different lighting techniques, on A5 on glossy photo paper. I am then going to use a piece of black card to make a window mount with the three images. I will take my card and measure out three cut outs, in the centre evenly, which it will cut so that I can stick my image on the back with tape so that the card will frame my images. I am going it use a tilted knife so that there will be a tiny white boarder on each of my images.

For my next final print I am also using one of my studio portrait images which uses chiaroscuro lighting. This time I am going to print it out on A4 glossy photo paper as I think it will look better bigger. With this final piece I am going to stick it onto white foam board and trim it leaving a white boarder. I am going to do this so that my image will be lifted off of the card which I am going to back my lifted image onto. The black card will my the image look finished and make it stand out more.

For my third final print I am going to used two of my environmental portraits. I am going to also print these two on A4 glossy photo paper so they the viewers can clearly see the detail and different tones. I am going to stick these two on foam board as well to lift them. However, when I trim them I am not going to leave any white boarder I am going to cut it right up to the edge of the image. Like my previous final piece, I am going to board them onto a piece of black card so that they are presented together.

For my last final print I am going to use one of the environmental portraits that I used in my third one, however, I have edited this one so that the image is in black and white apart from any red that was in the image, for example on his jacket and his bike. I am going to print this image on A3 glossy photo paper as I think that the image will look best is it is bigger and it will make it stand out more. To present this image I am going to use a window mount like my first final piece. I will take a piece of black card and cut the centre out to make it a frame. I will tape the image onto the back of it facing forwards so that the card has framed my image.
