My Final Images
Image NO1
Unedited
This is the original photo that I took to replicate Clare Rae’s ‘Prison Break’ photo. I like the how well the lens of my camera captured my subject, as its in the middle of the foreground so it will be proportional. I also like the type of rock used due tot the texture and it makes the photo look similar to Clare Rae’s original one.
Above the type of filter I used is BW01, I chose this filter because it exactly matches the dark shade of Clare Rae image called ‘Prison Break’.
I edited the contrast and the exposure, so the image didn’t look to dark, so the photo wasn’t impossible to see. If this had happened this photo would have been ruined and ruined the meaning of the photo.
My Experimentation Of This Particular Photo
To create the perfect final image I had to take the exact same photo 10 times to get an image I would like.

I like this photo due to the arm hugging the rock, this means that the subject is connected and feels valued with Jersey’s geology and coastline and connected to certain rocks. I also like how the background is slightly blurred because it makes the rock in the foreground to be the main focus. I like how similar this is to Clare Rae’s images as well.
In this photo, there are trees in the background and this is same in Clare Rae’s photo. Also, there trees are slightly blurred and its also like this in Clare Rae’s photo. This means that the photo was taken in an environment where the Dolmen is. She also uses rocks in the background of her photo, which is similar in mine, this means that more texture is automatically created in the photo. My favourite part of this photo is the hugging of the rock, this implies that the rock is in safe hands and its also very protected.
These are a list of filters I used before I finally picked one that I like. I tried to pick the exact one that Clare Rae might have picked during her editing process. I think the filter that I picked is quite accurate. The filter is used was called BW07 which gave m the exact shade of the black and white filter.
In this image I adjusted the texture ,exposure ,contrast and the shadows. I did this because it would help recover details of the photo in the bright and dark parts. I adjusted contrast more due to creating a balance in the photo and it can brig elements out such as dark, light and shadows.
My Experimentation Of This Particular Photo
To create the perfect final image I had to take the exact same photo 14 times to get an image I would like.

In this photo the hands that are above the rock are in line with the trees, This means that the rule of thirds are present in this photo. There are trees in this image. Also, there trees are slightly blurred and its also like this in Clare Rae’s photo. This means that the photo was taken in an environment where the Dolmen is. This perfectly replicates Clare Rae’s environment. My favourite part of this photo is the hands in the air because it represents freedom.
These are a list of filters I used before I finally picked one that I like. I tried to pick the exact one that Clare Rae might have picked during her editing process. I think the filter that I picked is quite accurate. The filter is used was called BW01 which gave me the exact shade of the black and white filter.
These are the settings for the BW01 filter, this is how I’ve achieved this particular image.
My Experimentation Of This Particular Photo
To create the perfect final image I had to take the exact same photo 8 times to get an image I would like.

This is the original image I took to try and replicate one of the images from ‘Never Standing On Two Feet’ collection. I like the how well the lens of my camera captured my subject, as its in the middle of the foreground so it will be proportional.
In this photo, there are trees in the background which means that the photo was taken in an environment where the Dolmen is. In the original photo Rae is balancing on shelves ,which means it in an indoor environment. I haven’t replicated this in my photos.
Above the type of filter I used is BW01, I chose this filter because its similar to what she uses in her photo.
This is an extended version of the settings for BW01 Filter, this is how I’ve achieved this particular image.
My Experimentation Of This Particular Photo
Although, I like these images they aren’t that similar to Clare Rae’s photo because the arms aren’t leaning on something so its quite different from the original Clare Rae photo.
