Photo's from the Photoshoot and Manipulation

  Here are my images from my first Photo shoot, I have put together a montage of all the different types of images I took as to show how I explored different angles and effects etc.

  After taking these images in my first Photo shoot, I decided I was happy with the images I had taken and so I felt my second Photo shoot was not needed. I feel that the images I had taken would meet the brief I created for my advertisement the right way in order to create the best looking advertisement I could. After taking these images I then chose a few of what I thought were my best images and put them into Photoshop in order to manipulate them and decide which I would use for my final image on my advertisement.

Here are the images that I manipulated in Photoshop:

 I feel this image was a good experiment as to express the hand jewellery and the little captures of the small necklace and the earrings. These little details add up in the Photograph in order for the viewer to understand what the advertisement is for straight away. However, I feel the airbrushing on this image lacks what it needed to be the best for my overall image for my advertisement, as the face has become blurred and the facial features blend in with this blur. Also I feel the image could of been less of a close up on my model, in order to fit her full head into the frame. 

  This image I feel is strong, as I have changed the items of jewellery from the previous shot as I felt they did not stand out on there own as they only stood out as a whole. And so, in this image I have removed the smaller necklace and put bigger earrings on the model in order to create an even balance on the model. This also aloud the jewellery to stand out individually to the audience, as well as the pearl necklace taking up more of the shot also. Furthermore, I like how the head of the model is now fully in the picture and is slightly to one side, giving the indication of this image and type of advertisement being different from what it usually venders from.
  Also, I feel the airbrushing in this image has worked really well as I tried my hardest in order to keep the facial features in much detail and the jewellery being advertised. I feel the skin of the model looks nature and realist, which will appeal to my audience, as if the jewellery does this to 'your skin'.

  In my planning for my advertisement, I decided that I would only have close ups of my model in order to get the best detail out of the jewellery. However, during the Photo shoot I decided I would experiment from this idea and to create a long shot of my model. I feel this long shot does give off the detail of the bracelets and the necklace, yet it does not do the justification of the earrings, which are the main part of the image. As the earrings can hardly be seen in this image, I felt that it was unable to use, however I felt this experiment helped me to develop my ideas during the photo shoot in order to realize that this shot would not work. 
  Furthermore, I feel the airbrushing on the face and chest in this image works really well in order to be the face of the advertisement. However, the arms could of done with more work as they have dark patches and the coloring is too light in order to match up to the face and chest of the model.
