Photoshop exploration

During this project, I wanted to experiment with what images I could use on my chosen articles for my magazine.

After experimentation that I had researched on photoshop previously, I understood the reasons why people use photoshop for example, airbrushing photographs, changing the shape of people, and the saturation of the images.

For example, celebrities such as Beyonce, have been caught out for photoshopping images. Angelina Jolie had her modelling photos photoshopped and airbrushed also.

Also, male celebrities have been caught photoshopping as well, Justin Bieber photoshopped his music cover photos, to make him look more buff. Which resulted in a lot of make lash from the media.

Brands such as Converse have photoshopped their shoes to make them shinier, overall making them more.

Body image is such issue within society at the moment, for example the rise and popularity of Instagram. Instagram models have become a huge influence to society in recent years. 

Instagram has become a platform, that people have been using to make money, it has become an easy income for people all over the world.

I have photoshopped my images for my magazine cover and articles, as I wanted the images to have a good balance between the black and white tones. 

For the images that I used for my project, I used a film camera, which I found it hard to create sharp edges, as I was working with four people.

I used the brush tool, to even out the photographs, to leave a more even skin tone. And evened out the black background, which would leave it with block colour.
