Using photoshop to experiment with one of my own studio shoots.
ORIGINAL IMAGE: studio shoot. This image was a result from the first studio shoot that I ever did. It hasn't been photoshopped in any way because I thought it would be easier to manipulate an un-edited image. i was quite proud of it in it's raw form anyway, I think i got the lighting right, and it looks really quite natural. it will also show how the effects manipulate it in it's original state.
PHOTO SHOPPED USING "CURVES": The use of curves on Photoshop have created a use of strong contrast, a heightened colour tone, it looks warmer and the light used in the studio has been emphasized. It's certainly created a brighter image, more likely to catch your eye and the colours give a certain warmth to the image, although it doesn't look very natural, it does look very edited.
PHOTO SHOPPED USING HUE AND SATURATION: With this image i decided to play around with the hue a little bit to see what kind of shade i liked. i decided finally on a blue/ violet tone. i then decreased the saturation a fair bit to ensure that it didn't look overly bright and to make sure that the actual quality of the photograph wasn't tampered with. it certainly gives a different look to the image, it is interesting in the way it gives a cooler tone compared to the previous warm effect from the curves. Although, i don't think it's a great edit for this particular image.
PHOTO SHOPPED USING INVERT: This image is very different to all the other edits, it's quite a striking and extreme edit. It does give of quite a weird and eerie feel, her eyes and teeth in particular are really obviously different and almost scary. i really don't think for this particular shot that it's a great manipulation to use, it has distorted the image quite a bit, and the shot itself is has a different feel, I don't think they work well together.
PHOTO SHOPPED USING THE FILTER: "DARK STROKES:" I really like this edit on this particular shot. i went through all the filters available on Photoshop to see what would work and what wouldn't. i chose this filter in particular because i think that it left the right balance of the natural look from the first image, but it also has created an effect, that i think emphasizes the difference between the light and dark, and i like the way it softens her features.
