Personal Belongings

These photographs are inspired by Sophie Calle's work and how she photographed in Hotel Room 44....

 

PHOTOSHOP:

The first photo is the original and it is quite dull and two dimensional.

On the second photo it has improved already with just a slight levels adjustment. The colours are much more vibrant

In the third photograph i did a curves adjustment. This has brightened the photograph and really picked out detail. The photograph seems more 3 dimensional than the first one.

ANALYSIS:

I like all of the bright and vibrant colours in this photograph and how i took the picture closer to focus on a smaller section. I could maybe experiment with camera angle to get more different effects.

 PHOTOSHOP:

I did the same processes as i did in the previous one. the first and final image don't look drastically different, but the small changes really do create a more punchy image!

ANALYSIS:

I like this photograph alot, again it is quite a colourful picture. It has a wide depth of field as the things in the background are still visible and sharp. To experiment i could change the focus areas and also change the aperture.

Self portraits

I wasn't able to edit the following images, however i did put one in black and white..

PHOTOSHOP: With this photograph i would crop part of the blue table out, as i think it's unnecessary. Also i would change the levels and maybe experiment with curves to create a more punchy image!

 ANALYSIS:  Overall i like this photograph, maybe it would look more effective if the flower was in focus, and maybe if the picture was a bit warmer, as it seems like quite a cold picture.

PHOTOSHOP: I would adjust levels with this photograph and also experiment with curves. If i used curves with the black and white, the image would be more striking and eye catching.

ANALYSIS: I do like this picture and i think the black and white works well, as parts of the background are busy and distracting. However i find the lighting from behind quite harsh and it burns out part of the picture. Perhaps if i was at a different angle it wouldn't be so harsh.
