Post production

To start off with I moved the exposure up to +1.90 which made the image brighter and exposed it more. I then moved the contrast up to +36 which gave my image more of a colour in the background. On this image I decided to reduce the amount of highlights I had as I had -38 as my highlights but I put my shadows up to +19 but put my black and whites down. My blacks are on -35 and my whites are on -43. I put my clarity up to bring out more definition and my vibrance up so that my image stood out more. My clarity is on +18 and my vibrance on +38.

With this image I moved the exposure up to +1.75 which made the image a lot brighter but not as bright as my image above and more exposed, I then moved the contrast to +24 which made my image have a bit more of a yellow tone giving off a bit more shadow, I moved the highlights up by a tiny bit just so that my image had a slight bit of shadow which then made me put my shadows up to +17 but then moved my whites and blacks down so that my whites were on -63 and my blacks on -45 so that I got a good balance. I kept my saturation on 0 and moved my vibrance and clarity down.

On this image the exposure is on +1.65, the contrast is on -8, the highlights are on +27, the shadows are on -11, the whites are all the way down at -100 and the blacks are down at -58. The clarity is at +17, the vibrance is on +8 and the saturation is down at -8. On all of my images my ISO was on 400 and my aperture was on 2.8.

This image is near enough the same amount of editing as the image above but I have added a bit more white into the image to make it look a little more highlighted.

I then cropped all of the images so that they didn't have as much of the wall in the background as I thought that if I cropped the background out then people would be drawn towards my portrait and not a blank wall at the top of the page.
