Manipulating my pictures from Photoshoot 3

 In my third photo shoot I took photos of my model for my 2^nd article. I wanted the images to be simple so I didn’t include any props or outfits. I took several shots of my model stood up and sat down, so that I had a variety of images to choose from. I used a even lighting when taking my photos I did this by using several light boxes and a DSLR camera. My model stood in the centre of the studio to make sure that the lighting was even and he didn’t look too pale. I enjoyed doing the photo shoot as I got a range of in focus images that would help my article.

 I manipulated my images by using Photoshop. I manipulated them so that they look higher quality than if I just inserted them straight onto my article. My 2^nd article has got a white background and as the article has got a relaxed vibe I didn’t want the images to have borders. I wanted the images to look free on the page. Also I believe that they look much more professional with a white background. I selected three images that I wanted to use in my article. I looked for the lighting on each of the images and at the eyes to select the best three. I then got rid of the background by selecting th e magic want tool on Photoshop and selecting the area around my model, i held down the shift key until the entire background was selected. I then chose the rubber tool and changed the brush sixe to large. I then erased the background until it was all white. To make the images the right colour I used the brightness and contrast tool to experiment with the brightness of my model.
