Using Lightroom
Make a rough selection of your 30-50 best pictures from all shoots.
Grading
I have added stars to my images to make it easier to decide which images I want in my book and which images I dont. By doing this I can then just select my images by colour grading them.
Book Making
I then added all these images into the book option on lightroom and started playing around with the order of the photos to make the book that I want.
Experimentation
Final
EVALUATION:
Comment on the following:
- How successful was your final outcomes (book, film, prints etc)?
I think that my final outcome was very successful, my book has created a real meaning.
- Did you realise your intentions?
Not really, I knew that I wanted to photograph teenage life and comment on the experience but I didn’t realise how well it would turn out.
- What references did you make to artists references?
I have used images very similar to Jim Goldbergs like my cover of the skateboard, and some like Diane Arbus with my use of eye contact.
