Photography


For the photos above, I decided to concentrate on the eyemakeup that had been done for the shoot. It was heavily inspired by both drag makeup and the eye-makeup style that is trending on Instagram these days.
The photograph on the left looks rough and as though the contrast has been hightened significally along with the vibrance, on the other hand however, the right photo has been airbrushed and made to look appealing. The softer blend-out of the eyeshadow looks like it was in a makeup magazine.

This photo is actually a screenshot of the video, during a transition of two clips. I really like this clip as it looks like double exposure has been yet it was simply caught by chance. I changed the brightness and contrast t make the photo look a little 'grungy'. Along with changing the brightness and contrast, I also altered the vibrancy and saturation. Despite the fact this photo does not match the rest of my photoshoot, I still feel as though this belongs in this collection of photographs.

For this photo I wanted to show the use of photoshop to airbrush photos which creates the 'perfect' image of a woman. This photo was heavily photoshopped, especially focusing on the skin. Getting rid of blemishes that weren't hidden by makeup were the main priority. Most images that show the 'perfect' woman are airbrushed so they have flawless and poreless skin.
