Editing

For the editing on these photos, they were quite simple in which I just tried my best to light up the features of the person and help more with the colouring to enable the emotions in the photos to be expressed more clearly. For example in the photo above in which I had adjusted the sliders to make the images a little bit darker and lighter bits in the photo stand out more.

I also cropped all of them to the right size, fitting them all in a way that makes not only the image sizes the same but also the head sizes, making the photos all look more in proportion to each other. For example in the image above, it shows how I used the cropping tool to just extract the headshot to fit in with the others.

The way I ordered the photos was purposely done to help show some type of meaning towards them, creating a sense of story with the subject almost like they are getting antagonized by the shouting of the other photos, with it getting worse and worse as you go down the rows. I was able to do all of this in the printing section of lightroom, enabling me to also make the presentation of my final outcome grid by changing the margins and cell spacing.

Final outcome

Virtual Gallery

In the artsteps virtual gallery, i have made it so there is every single individual photo in my final piece has been added. i have also added the final piece in its grid format to kind of show all the photos that went into it in more detail.

Evaluation

I think the final outcome was in my opinion quite successful, as I was able to kind of tell a story with the photos pretty much only with the expressions and faces made. In which while i was editing I had these intentions, describing the identity of which the person shows in the form of reactions towards the other photos in the grid. Regarding towards the artist reference, it kind of goes its own way but still remains in the artists technique of the images telling some type of story. But one thing I would like to do differently was that I wish I took more photos in general as this would of made it easier to pick certain faces and expressions that clearly show the emotions i was looking for.
