~Statement~
For my project I intend to create a mood board idea to broaden my research method by looking at other photographer's work on the internet and completing a collection of their work that inspires me. During this project, I will explore several Photoshop techniques so that I can develop my editing strengths for my final pieces. I will focus on getting very good pictures of people and trying to edit them with the techniques I'm going to learn.
My goal for this project is to use the I researched below, such as fashion style ,magazine cover ,various model poses.
In order to produce a successful project , creative and unique ,I intend to carry out a variety of research on my chosen themes "sport" and "magazine cover". I will also create a Pinterest account and gain inspiration from variety of outlets ,ideas for edits and some poses.
Throughout this project, I will use a variety of techniques with the camera ,I will explore both manual and automatic techniques on the camera -- helping me to portray the themes of flaws and perfection through focused and blurred work .I will also use ISO, apertures and shutter spends to emphasis certain features within the photographs. I may also create a studio set up using lighting and back drop. I will need a model and I will ask for them to wear certain style of clothing . I will try to go on location to capture an outdoor shoot.
Towards the end of my project, I will have the best intentions and strive to finish the most wonderful project. I will do a digit portfolio with all my final .

In this image I see a beautiful girl with a fantastic colored eye. This picture is made with natural makeup. Her hair has a nice color because the sun reflects in her hair and also her eyes. I think this picture is made outside or in a garden because they used a flower to create a shadow on her face and the light is better. I think they used real light and it is natural light like the sun. Also, it blurred the background a bit but it looked nice because I could see her face better.
This image is a portrait and I can't see all of her face, just half,I think it's a realistic picture.
When I look at this picture it reflects me. in my head an image that wants to convey creation, inspiration and also peace. , I am still inspired by the coming of spring.
Composition
In this image cropping has been used as we only see half the face. I think the photographer wanted to focus her half face because we can see the details and that shadow in my opinion looks nice just on half of the face. The eye on the model to me has been placed on the sweet spot, the colours blue and green are highlighted and can be seen clearly as it is a contrast against the light colour of her skin. The shadow of the flower on her face can be seen as a leading line from her nose in the center of the image going up towards the right hand side of her face.
In this image the purple flower that is out of focus is the foreground, the mid ground is the girls pale face and shadow then the background is made up of the girls golden hair and blue Ombre colour which is fading.
I think the photographer has used a tripod and has used an outside set up as there is natural light captured in this picture.

Connection
I like this work because her face with that shadow flower is lovely,that eye look like a diamond contrasts with that violet flower ,her lips and hair also have a nice color for this contrast.
If I could change this picture I would change the positioning of the camera and try to catch her whole face, and I would use photoshop to edit the background, to be a greater contrast between her eyes I think it would look great also this photo I would change the position of the flower.

Inspiration
I have a great inspiration for this photo. I Really like how this photographer used this flower to create that shadow .I also really like the light of nature that beats on her face and flatters her eyes.

Photography poses💕
Posing your subject provides you with the opportunity to tell a different story with every frame. At the same time, it helps improve the appearance of the subject (or subjects) in the photo while creating intimate, memorable moments that add emotion and depth to your overall
composition.

This image is of a woman holding a flower looking as though she is smelling the flower. This image is very clear it has good lighting the contrast of colour fits very well with the flower and with lipstick on the lip. The white of her clothes stands out against the red back ground. I think this image works well for a magazine cover it could also be used for a make up advert.
Composition
In this image the lady has been placed in the center of the photograph and the red flower is on the sweet spot this help balance out the photograph. The colour used in the foreground is white and the background is a light red colour. The lady is place as the mid colour of the image and she is holding a dark tone of red flower. I know that this image has been taken in a studio as there is a plain back ground the lighting on the face would suggest that the photographer has controlled the light. Because if it was taken outside there would be a busy background and the natural light would be seen on the face and may create shadows.
Comment
I like the work of the photographer as I like the position of her model and how the background colour of red matches the flower. I also like how the make up is simple and the image is simple but looks good. I will try to recreate this style in my own work. By asking my model to wear a contrasting colour to my background. I could also get my model t wear makeup in similar colours to my background.
