For the studio portraiture photoshoots, I did multiple photoshoots focusing on trying to get each of the various lighting effects rather than doing a photoshoot for each.

Chiaroscuro Edits

Edit 1

I edited this photo by using the brush tool the decrease the exposure slightly on the left side of the face to give more off a light-dark effect. I also cropped the edges and top to make the face larger in the frame.

Edit 2

I edited this photo by cropping each side and using the brush tool to make the left of the face dark by decreasing the exposure. After this, I decreased the overall exposure and increased the texture.

Edit 3

I edited this photo by, firstly, cropping the top then making it black and white. Then, I slightly lowered the exposure and increased the texture and clarity. Finally, I used the brush tool to make the shaded side of the face a bit darker.

Edit 4

To edit this photo I started off by making it black and white then slightly decreased the exposure and setting the shadows as -100, rather than using the brush tool. After this I increased the whites and blacks to around 20 each.

Edit 5

I edited this photo by cropping each side then decreasing the exposure, highlights and shadows.

Edit 6

All I did to edit this photo was crop each side, including the top and bottom, and select the background to increase its exposure rather than the whole image.

Edit 7

I didn’t think that this image needed editing so all I did was make it monochrome then cropped the top.

Edit 8

I edited this photo by, firstly, making it black and white then lowering the overall exposure. Finally, I cropped the side so that the side of his face and the edge of his ear met each line that makes the vertical centre of the rule of thirds.

Edit 9

To edit this photo I started off by making it black and white then cropping each side. I then decreased the overall exposure and increased the highlights and shadows. I also increased texture and decreased clarity. Finally, I selected the background and lowered the exposure to make it black then continued to use the brush tool to clean up areas of the background and around the edges of his face which were not black.
