  This is the original photo that I used to photoshop the way I wanted it to look and the style we were concentrating on, bright and eye capturing. This is the first colour I liked and decided to use as my background because it was pretty but not to over the top. I then added some winter touches, with the shapes I used snowflakes in cold colours and the little white cloud looking lines. The 3rd photo (above) I then decided to change a little bit. I changed the season to summer so there wasn't a particular reason for this I just wanted it to be a more happy mood. I then discovered if I used the blur tool to make her hair look more even it would look more professional look more professional. Then I decided to change the photo completely because I felt that the photo looked a bit boring and I wanted it to have more images and effects on my photo so I changed the background colour to black so make it look like it was in the night.

my favourite three photos

Image
the reason these 3 are my favourite photos is because of the lighting and props. Photo 1 I like the way the zip is shining like a star and it makes the picture 100 times better. photo 2 I love of Carly because the picture looks like it had a meaning to it. It was a calm photo and it looks professional. Photo 3 I liked the most because of the setting, outside and the props were natural and bright. The sun made the photo bright and the expression was happy. The characters in all these photos are the people I'm closest to.

character- in these photos, I wanted the lighting to be bright and my character/characters mood to be happy. There was no props involved and I wanted the smiles and expressions to be naturalistic. I used different effects of all three of these photos so they looked pretty, I enhanced the lighting on my mom and used natural sunlight for the photo at the top.
