Final Images

Light Painting
When I first started experiment with light painting my photographs looked very armature. As I went on I tried different types of light painting and tried to get more creative. I was able to change much with my images as I didn't have Photo shop at home where I was trying to do the light paintings, this meant I was unable to get rid of some of the blur and change the colours to make it look a a lot better.


I really like my final image because it's quite different and was fun to do, as well as experimenting to get it how I wanted to be.
I didn't like the lighting of the photo on the right, I tried adding a flash just before the shutter closed to make the person more prominent but it just washed out the whole image.

The photo on the right I like a lot more but it has distractions in the background which I didn't account for before I took the image.



The image above is my final image, I like the way the person in the frame isn't directly in the middle and the look it has. I would definitely edit some of this in Photo Shop to lesson the blurriness and make the colours a lot more prominent.

Projections

When doing projections in the studio it was hard to get the correct lighting, because the it had to be pitch black and the projection had to be bright. The first image I took was really underexposed and dark, I then changed the settings but it ended up being slightly over exposed and looked washed out.




My final image is on the right, I really like this photograph. I made him stand to the side where there was more colour to the projection and I think it makes it look a lot more interesting. If I had him stand in front of the white section of the projection it wouldn't change anything on him. i also had a good exposure on the image making it look well thought out. I think this made me realize that other things can look good and still be 'incorrect'.

Double exposures
I did double exposures in a different way where I used some of my projection photographs and had three separate images that I put together in photo shop.


These are the three final images that I put together in photoshop, I thought I could make it look like he was looking at himself on the streets of New York, almost like the devil and angel on his shoulders

As I added the images i changes the effects to get the look I wanted and making the middle person stand out more

Between this and my final image I changed the opacity on the middle image to make it stand out more and not look transparent.

The image at first was kind of blue so I changed the colour balance to make it look a lot softer and more realistic.













I cropped the image to make it look more centered.

This is my final double exposure and I really like how it looks, having the projection making him blend in but then he stands out really well in the middle. The one thing I would change is maybe having a slightly different projection, because to me there are some buildings on the middle persons face that I personally don't like the look of.
