Photostory - Cupcakes

 

Sorry for being a little late again.....Hope you all enjoy.

Photo story photos

These are a few of my photo story photos. In no particular order. I decided to do a photo story about myself. Things that I like and inspire me. I apologize for uploading late. I've been working like crazy this week and just have not had the time. :/

Portraits

My best friend and her fiancée found out they are expecting a few months ago (IT'S A GIRL!), and since I was taking this class, asked me if I'd want to try to take some maternity photos. I was very excited to be offered the chance to capture some of these memories for them. We took these photos at 18 weeks. Since the only time I was able to meet with her was at night, we had to make due with what we had for a background. I used the sheet as the backdrop. I plan to take more photos throughout her pregnancy to create a timeline.

In these first three photos I really tried to work with her shadow. I played around with the brightness and contrast.

 

 

 

This one came out a little washed out, but I found that I liked it in black and white.

 

Clone Tool

Here I took out the telephone pole. It was a bit challenging, but this is definitely a  tool that I will use over and over again.

Filters

These are my filtered photos.

Edited:
This one I added the Softglow effect. I like the way it makes it more white, almost as if it's covered in snow.

This one I used the cartoon filter. I thought it added a fun texture to the photo. It looks different, but interesting.

Dodge & Burn

The three photo's I chose were ones that I had taken for previous weeks, but I just was interested to see what how I could change them with these new skills.

Edited:

 I basically darkened the entire image except for the sun. I think It helps not wash out the trees in the sky to have them be darker. Along with the trees on the bright snow.

This one I darkened the couch under his head ad I darkened the black parts of his eyes. It makes his face pop out a little more. and it helps his eyes from looking greenish.

This one I just lightened the seed pods. Although it is not that much different, I think that it brings out a little more detail in the pods.
