Research Artists, Loretta Lux.

I like this photo beacuse she has made it look like a girl is 'creeping' up on her, i love how plain the background is, the colours are so nutrul.

I love this photo too, she has made her look like a 'real life' barbie doll. this is similar to a photoshoot i want to do.

 

Again i love this photo, she has made it fairytale, the colours are really good and go together well.

Lorretta Lux work is really good, all her pictures seem so 'fake' but yet they are so 'real'. all her colours go well together, If they are bright she makes it look good and the nutrul colours look good too. she is very inspiring to me i will deffintley try some of her work out in the furture.

Four Ways Covert Colours to Monochrome.

1. Image- Mode-Grayscale-Okay.

This is my own example, i followed the steps.






























2. Image ( or layer)- Adjustments- Desatuarates.

This is an example of my own which i followed the steps.

3. Add Adjustment Layer-Channel Mixer- check the monochrome box. 100% of the red channel is used to create the monochrome conversion. Change the tonality by adjusting the combinations but make sure the percentages total 100% [i.e] 80% red, 20% green and 0% blue= Orange filter].

This is an example of my own, which i followed the steps.

4. Add Adjustment layer- Hue/Satuations adjustment layer and select okay. Change the blend mode for this layer from normal colour. now open hue/satuation layer and adjust the sliders to gain the desired effect. 

this is an example of my own, following the steps.

Resizing Images,Cropping Images & Rotating Images

Resize Images: select the layer picture to want to resize( or the layer) then press CTRL and T at the same time in your keyboard, you can resize the picture in any directions.
When you finish you must press enter. you can also do it this way go to edit- free transform or edit -transform and then choose an appropriate transformations you want.

To reduce the canvas size you have to go to image-canvas( or press ALT + CTRL + C) size and then adjust the size of the canvas according to size which need to be remove.
Croping Images: Click on "File" and then "Open." Select the photograph you want to work with and then click the "Open" button. It should pop up into the editing area of Photoshop.Click on the "Crop" tool. It should be on the main editing toolbar.With the "Crop" tool selected, click and drag over the part of the photo you want to work with. A box should appear. The area inside the box will be what is left after the crop is complete, so manipulate the size until you are satisfied with what your edited photo will look like.Press "Enter". The program will then crop the photo automaticly, and the edited pic will now appear in the edit window.

What is a workflow.

A workflow consists of a sequence of connected steps. It is a depiction of a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person, a group of persons,an organization of staff, or one or more simple or complex mechanisms. Workflow may be seen as any abstraction of real work, For control purposes workflow may be a view on real work under a chosen aspect, thus serving as a virtual representation of actual work. The flow being described often refers to a document that is being transferred from one step to another.
A workflow is a model to represent real work for further assessment. More abstractly, a workflow is a pattern of activity enabled by a systematic organization of resources, defined roles and mass, energy and information flows, into a work process that can be documented and learned.
 Workflows are designed to achieve processing intents of some sort, such as physical transformation, service provision, or information processing.

Props,Locations,Cameras&Lighting.

When i do my shoot for my pictures, i am not doing any spercific location. 
The only props i am using is money beacuse i am taking photos of it.
i am using a hand but this vasrys from all diffrent size's, i have used mine, my daughters and a mans hand to see which one looks better with writting over it so it indicates 'Loaded'. The lighting i am using is natrul light and maybe a flash depending when i take my photos.
I used my Nikon d3000 to shoot my photos on.
