7. Theme or focus of image & reasons for choice
I’d say that the themes of the photographs that I analysed in the proposal are quite
similar to my images because Image One, Three, Seven and Ten are all in black and
white and in one of the images I analysed it was in black and white and it shows of
the Djs and I’d say I’ve shown this in those images plus the reason for this was
because they look really good in black and white because they look abit dull in
colour. Then there was another image which showed the decks of the Dj, I did a
similar thing but still shown the Dj because it is a portrait shoot. You can see that I
applied this to picture Five, Six and Seven they all show the Dj but also shows there
decks which is what I wanted in the proposal but I did this because it had to at least
show the Dj because it wouldn’t have been a portrait if it was just the decks. Finally
there was one image and this was my Idea that I could think of it was an image of
the artist looking at the audience and the shoot is behind him and I applied this to
picture Two, it shows a performance in this eye, I did this because the idea was that
he was seeing his future and the key to that was to look in his eye, he was a Dj so
you’d expect to see a Dj perform with a big crowd which explains what is shown in
the image. So all my images are almost similar to the ones I analysed in the proposal
which I think would consider as a success.
Techniques used
In order for my photos to look originally as good the aperture, iso and shutter speed
were the most important of them all because the depth of field was added in some
of the images and added to some on the edited part of the project, Firstly when I
took my images they needed to all alter because of the light changed during the
shooting because some images looked good in the dark and some good in the light
which was a pain because I had to change the aperture to make sure it was right,
Then I have the shutter was fast just because I wasn’t catching any movement, Finally
there was the ISO it changed depending on light because I changed it when we
turned the lights on and off.
Strengths & suggested improvements
Most of my images look professional because of the black and white effect or the
colour change or the blur effect, on the other hand some of the original images that I
had to choose from were to blurry for me to use even picture Nine was originally
blurry but I edited to make it look not as bad but also some of my images showed
luminous lights which were a hassle because there were smaller pixels of colours that
weren’t the same colour but a darker/lighter of the colour of the light which was very
had to select so I couldn’t use the colour cancellation on those colours, so next time I
probably will use less lighting so the image will be able to use the colour cancellation
of a certain colour. So overall when I do another photo shoot I make sure the lights
are right for the setting and make sure I get clear photos that are not too blurry when
choosing images.
Editing details
Picture One – this was my most created of images, Firstly I added a duplicate layer of
the originally photo, then I added a black and white effect to the top image causing
the image to go black and white, then I selected the eye and nothing else, I deleted
the black and white effect over the eye which then revealed the colour version of
the eye. Then I selected the iris of the eye and copied it and put it on a separate
layer, I decided on the colour red, so I used the setting colour balance to change to
red, it was the right red that I wanted so then I went on the image then adjustments
and went on the variations tool which made me be able to change the colour of the
red and making me able to get the right red, then finally I added a brush of cracked

8. glass and added it too the pupil.
Picture Two – the process for this image was my idea it was an easy process, firstly I
opened an image of the person but his hands In the air and selected only him in the
shot, then make him smaller so he fits in the eye and then I turned down the opacity
so it looked abit transparent, then I got a crowd suitable for the picture and turned
the opacity down as well to the crowd and finally turned the saturation up a little bit.
Picture Three – I just changed it to black and white because I just wanted to keep it
simply but it still looks good because it is still simply and it shows off a picture I
analysed on the proposal
Picture Four - I changed the hue and saturation to the image but also gave it a
gradient map which was green to red and changed the blend mode so it went over
the colour which then this is what I got for the final edit.
Picture Five – all I did for this image was blur out the background and boosted up the
contrast. I used a Gaussian blur this is very useful blur because it is the most effect for
editing.
Picture Six – For this image I added six setting to the picture; Brightness, Contrast,
Exposure, Hue, Saturation and channel mixer. Firstly I added Channel Mixer, I added
more of the red channel but also lower the constant and it games me an aqua feel
to the image. Next I added the Hue and Saturation, I turned the saturation down and
made it a little bit lighter this made the image felt more dull bit it wasn’t exactly
finished because next was the exposure, I turned exposure and the gamma
collection up just a little and it made my image less dull and made it lighter and
exposed the dullness. Finally there was the Brightness and Contrast, I boosted the
brightness and left the contrast and then this final Image.
Picture Seven – this was a simple process I duplicated my original image, then turned
the bottom layer black and white then erased everything except the green light on
the collar so it has a colour cancellation.
Picture Eight – I did the same as picture Seven for this edit but instead of the green
glow on the collar this time I didn’t erase the red lens flare but also captures the
reflection on the person.
Picture Nine – I added a blur around the person but also added a photo filter, the
filter I used was a warming filter and turned the density to almost 100%.
Picture Ten – For this Image I duplicated the image for the first layer I turned it into
black and white but also gave it a Gaussian blur so it would focus on the person, then
for the second layer, I erased the back so you could see the black and white effect
but also can see the blur effect, then added a photo filter to the second image but
before that, I selected what I wanted to be in effect. So I selected the person this
then made a mask causing it to only go the person going into effect then I changed
that effect to warming filter and turned the density to its fullest.
