I took this photograph of my photographer teacher whilst on a school trip to Paris and Madrid. I edited the picture using photoshop, changing the colours and tone of the image to see what effect it would give, as im in the process of learning how to use photoshop, but overall i am pleased with this portrait.

I took this photograph during my visit to Saint Ives, when going for a little walk along the beach and seeing this little girl playing in the water, i couldnt help but take a picture as it was so cute!.. After editing using photoshop to enhance the image on a whole to make it more eye-catching, this also is part of development for my A2 specialist project on portraits.

let me go...

This is a self portrait I have produced as part of development of my current A2 specialist project. I have taken this photograph of myself due to exploration of the idea of self portraits and how I can achieve a successful one. After enhancing perticualr areas of lighting within the picture, using photoshop, I feel I am pleased the image I have created. The compositioning of myself and the background of the photograph with the inforcement of the tittle was done as to add impact to the the photograph, so that the viewer questions the matter in which he feels is being expressed.

This is a portrait photograph of my most loved grandma. Originally the photograph was busy, there was a lot going on in the background of the image. Using Photoshop I edited out the back sting of the picture so that full attention of the viewer was drawn to my grandmother. What influenced me to enhance this image was the composition of my grandma, the fact that she is at an angle and sitting so peacefully having her cup of tea, looking intrigued at the conversation she is engaged
