Outcome
The concept of my photography was to capture everday life in such a way that it doesn't appear as mundane and ordinary as we see it. I wanted to capture the things around me, and by maniulating the photograph I was taking the particular aspect and creating a different mood and atmosphere.
I compressed the shots I took on Photoshop to make the images suitable for the web. In my editing techniques, I focused on colour, on occasion I decided to make the image sureal by desaturating part of it and leaving a certain point of focus in colour. With each image I adjusted the levels to create a better sense of exposure, I also blurred parts of certain shots to draw attention to a particular area, by manipulating the image in this way I was forcing the audiences attention to the part of the photo that I find most interesting. I used various filter effects to create a darker atmosphere in a selection of the photos (see 11, 15). Overall I feel my photo essay met the brief to a good standard and considering the fact that I had little experience in taking photographs I have produced some effective shots.
