Editorial Edits:

Final Edits...

In this blog I will be writing about my final outcome images of my Editorial shoot and how I feel it went. During the shoot I followed my plan to try and make sure the whole shoot came together in the right amount of time. To sum up what I wanted to achieve is to create three final images in total in the poses of; front, side and angled. The whole shoot is meant to represent my inspirational word 'fill' as through all my research and playing I hope I have achieved this. As mentioned previously I used paint as a main media for this shoot as I believe it best represents my word. The word 'fill' means to 'fill' something up or un 'fill' things therefore I believe paint represents the action of filling in the most interesting format and media. I will now be showing my three photos that I have edited and explain the pro's and con's of each one. 

Front View 

In this image I have presented a front view image representing my word 'fill'. I have picked this image out of my shoot as I love the way it is very central to the whole picture. The central positing of this image and the model makes the overall picture very bold and striking. The colouring adds to this striking theme as the paint runs down my models hand. I positioned the hand central to the face as to continue the central theme making it more bold by adding to this. Considering the colour theme the blue is a huge representation of the word 'fill' as most of it drips down the models hand but to me the white makes this pictures as its stand out and contrast so well against the black background. To further highlight the meaning of the word I have covered the majority of my models body with the paint to FILL the canvas.   

 Side View

In this image it represents the side view of my inspirational word 'fill'. Like the first image it gives a very striking feel to the image due to the positing of the model. The camera have taken the picture from a low angle making the audience look up at the image, following up the whole body of the model. The image gives a mood of innocence as the model looks into the distance with her long white fluttering eyelashes. The paint on the models hand also follows the position of the models acting as a direction for the eye to follow when looking at it. I have only made small changes from the original image. I have brought up the contrast and lowered the brightness slightly but the main change in the image is the 'sharpness' in the picture. I have added a high sharpness to the image which makes the colours stand out and shown as more in depth especially in the eyelashes.  

Angled View

In this image it represents the angled view of my inspirational word 'fill'. I really love this image out of all my angled images as I believe give a real 'sparkle' and positive mood to the image. The contrast of the colours are really captured in this images like many of the other. The white paint and dark background really contrast against each other and other interesting elements of this image are the drips again running down the hand of the model. I reason I love this image I believe is the small smile and tilted head that my model is presenting. The white teeth firstly contrast with the black background like the white paint but secondary the position of my model gives a real 'cheeky' feel to the image which I believe give an overall positive mood and makes it very eye catching. Like the first and second image shown above I have used the same editing technique; lowered the brightness levels, highered the contrast and made the overall image sharper.

Reflection:

However, I am very please on how my images turned out I believe this is due to my detailed background research and planning of the photoshoot. Without this background research I would not have non what the main meaning and representation of my inspirational word I would have got across. The research of the continuing mood board helped me develop this idea and I am pleased with it final outcome. During the time of the photoshoot I felt that the shoot went to plan as I had put together an overall plan for the shoot making it much easier and quicker for me to know what to do and how to do it. Of course some elements were difficult, for example during my shoot I did find it difficult to always capture an image that was always in focus but I believe this comes with practice, therefore by doing more shoots over time this will help me improve on this aspect. I did find this inspirational word very difficult at the beginning of my research as I have never been presented with a task such as this. The word 'fill' is not a word I would have thought would have given me this idea as I did not know how to develop this word however we continuous research and back-tracking shown throughout this blog I believe I have achieved the best outcome that I could have.
