Not my best but I had to get this assignment done. I originally planned to shoot an editorial type photo but the weather on my free days was not cutting it for me. Anywho..
One day I hope I will maybe understand how professional retouchers can have so much patience to touch up every little hair on a persons face. For now I just used iPhoto retouch since I don't have photoshop.
For the most part these are sooc with a little color face or contrast boost. I used this ad for makeup inspiration:
I set my white balance to tungsten because I used a tiny lil' lamp that was almost like a flashlight. The colors in the photos I took were a tad washed out; I used yellow and purple for my eyes but still kept the pink lip. Obviously, with editing the colors the vibrance was lost. (click on the photo to see better)
I think the second photo is my favorite as an ad.
The 3rd is another favorite but a little less practical since if it was in a magazine itd have the crease right through the subject.
I also like the 2nd to last photo just because of the shadow on my face.
Fact of the day: I really want to invest in better lighting sources!
Really nicely done. Well thought out. I agree though, a better light source would make a world of difference. At least diffuse the one you have. Make it softer. It will be more forgiving. You may also want to invest in a soft-focus filter (which we will be discussing) if you are going to continue to shoot faces.

These are all beautiful! The first and second photographs are my favorite though
ReplyDeleteAlso, when shooting faces-try and keep your camera height level with the eyes. You don't want to be looking up the nose.
