For the presentation I decided to put together a short film showing the work that I've completed this year. I have also put the images up and evaluated them, but I just thought it would be good to show the video as it shows the photos in a new way together and is part of editing them.

Digital Post Production
Here below are my final images form the digital post production project. I was really unsure of what I wanted to do on this project but in the end after an article I decided to base it on Hindu gods, looking at attaching extra arms and heads etc onto the images to produce a more modern photo copy of the images. Here are the images below...
This first image was based around the god Vishnu. She had Blue skin, and 4 upper arms. I found an image what I thought I could copy the main theme of to the best that I could. I am happy with this image because I did put a lot of work into it and a lot of photo shop was used to change the original image to this. There are a few small faults with the image above but I think it's most likely me who notices them more because I can see the areas where this is. I think the image has copied the original well and the dress code, props etc are do suit what I was trying to copy. Overall I'm pleased with this image.
This image above is the least favorite of my photos. I found this the hardest, and had the most work involved. I hope the effect of the floating on a flower worked and doesn't come across cheap. I Think the arms that have been put on look really realistic and work the best out of all of them. I think the colour of the skin is slightly strange and would have been better done in a studio but sadly I couldn't do this. But overall I do like the image and hope it looks good still.
This last image of the god Ganesha who had an elephants head it my personal favourite out of the 3 but probably has the most mistakes in. I just prefer the whole body and shape of the image and the colours, it was a lot easier to take the images for this, but there was a lot of editing involved, for example on the arms where I had to create a top part of arm myself. I am really pleased with this image though and hpope it shows off my skills that I do have on photoshop.

Lighting Studio Images
I have put each of my final 3 images on here and I will evaluate each one and say what I don't like about it and what I do. I am starting off with my lighting studio project where I decided to really go for it and do a naked photo shoot looking at body form and natural body shapes. I wanted to use something really based around the lights as it was my first time in the lighting studio. I chose 3 images for my final project and they are belwo. I also have more that I will add in later that didn't make the final 3.
This photo above is probably my favorite from the whole photo shoot. I'm not sue why but I just love the body shape and the detail on the body and the ribcage. It might be visually boring and plain but I love the cropping of the image, and just how natural the photo is. The lighting was a 1:3 ratio key light being around a f18, its brighter then others but having Photoshop has allowed me to alter the brightness and tone it down and add contrasts into the photo. I had once again taken most of the colour out because overall it looks better and more professional.
This image above is an image I have put with the 2 photos below, I really love the lighting on the image and the shading and how the lights have just lit areas around the ribs giving that really lovely bone effect. What I also love about this image is the backbone you can just see down the back of the model, I wanted the achieve really natural shapes and I had a naturally skinny, flexible person who worked great in this shoot, I am really pleased with this image, its simple ut very effective.
This image Is my least favorite out of the 3 but I still like the image, i find it really interesting, you and get to see the opposite side of the shape and see all the different lumps and bumps of the body and i love the way the light has picked these up. I think the colour of the slightly black and with images has worked really well and I'm really happy with the results of these images.
This photo above is also a favorite of mine. I think the lighting has worked perfectly and has highlighted the right areas but darkened the areas such as the back. I think on this photo they lighting was perfect and is exactly what I wanted to achieve. I used two lights, the key light to the right, with a f11 and the key light a f5'6. I think i could have just made the key light slightly softer giving the arms and hands a slightly softer edge, but I quite like the detail on the hands and arms. I have photo shopped this image and desaturated the image to give it that more interesting contrast look.
Overall I am so happy with these images, I know there simple but I really love them and I'm really proud of the turnout.
