Unfortunately, for the week 8 workshop I was ill so I was unable to actually attend it in person. However, I was still able to complete the task with minimal complications from home.
As I was at home I was unable to go out and shoot like the rest did at the start of the lesson, so I had to use the image attached for us to use on the task sheet which was a photo of a woman in front of a blue background.
I enjoyed being able to practice my post production skills again on Photoshop as I feel this will benefit me when it comes to editing the images I take for my project if they need altering.
It allowed me to further get to grips with a new programme in Photoshop as well as experimenting with new basic adjustments such as White Balance and Highlights and Shading and being able to see first hand the impact it has on the image.
I am still trying to tread the line of enhancing the images overall saturation and brightness to make it look more appealing without the image losing it’s original, authentic look.
