Fine Art- Black and White

In this photo I used my friend Carly and put her posed between the bamboo. I told her to grab the bamboo, showing her hand and seeming as if she has a connection to the bamboo. She posed with a serious face that's not mad, but seems calm. I enhanced the detail a little making her freckles stand out more. I changed the color to be black and white connecting her more with the bamboo. I also blackened the fence that was previously in the background to enhance the bamboo.

Fine Art Photo- Warm Colors

In this photo I liked how the wood pole gave off a beachy feeling, but is more unique than the sand and waves found on every beach. I asked my friend Amy to lean against the pole in a way that seemed almost as if she was embarrassed and looking back. I lowered the exposure and added warmth to the photo. I also desaturated the blues, giving the photo an almost stormy effect. Her shirt and shorts add a pop of color to the photo, making it obvious what the main focus of the photo is.

Commercial/ Magazine Portrait- Behind the trees

In this photo I posed her hiding behind the trees happy that she was going on a hike or in the forest. I could use this as a cover on a hiking or camping magazine. I liked how she is looking back as if on a hike turning back to see if anyone was following her. I added saturation to enhance the leaves, seeming as if it were summertime. 

Magazine Portrait- Summer Girl

This magazine is perfect for a teenaged girl looking for fun activities and fashion to rock over the summer. The font colors give it a younger look, while matching with the colors in the photo. I posed my friend Sami smiling on a beach in an excited way. Her shoes and outfit add some fashion to the photo, and by parting her hair in a blown back way, I gave her a beach waves look. I had her hands across her knees to add more shapes and textures, for her hands are covered in sand if you look close enough. I added some saturation, but I think the natural lighting made it seem stunning already.
