So I chose my images and opened them all up, in Adobe Bridge I opened one of the coloured ones in raw and started my editing process, they are in colour firstly because I shot them in colour and I have to change the settings to black and white.
Firstly I went down the column on the right and started editing using the sliders one by one and changed the colour to black and white so I can see what part of the image I need to change to define the skin or the structure or something else in the picture.
I didn't want to change the image so much that it was unrecognisable I just wanted to change the brightness maybe soften the skin a little bit.
I changed the exposure, brightness, blacks, high lights, the clarity, vibrance and saturation too, most of the sliders were only changed very slightly.
I had to change the settings a little more in these images compared to the colour images because in black and white the dark jumper next to the dark hair wasn't showing up that they were separate. I changed the blacks more in these images so you can see the detailed material of the top compared to the hair strands.
I then clicked done when my image was how I wanted it and I also cropped the image very slightly.
I went back in to Adobe Bridge and right clicked the image I just edited, then I copied the settings from that image and pasted it on to the two other chosen coloured images.
The settings looked really good on all the images because the lighting and the model was all kept the same in the studio. The only thing I had to change on the images separately was the blacks again. To get the definition between the hair and the jumper.
I then opened up my images in to photoshop and edited them very slightly. I used the spotting tool to remove any little hairs i thought were un necessary, and any little lines or wrinkles around the eyes. I also removed some of the hair off the top she has on. I then used the dodge and burn tools to hight light some areas and add some contouring to the face.
These are the before and after images.
As you can see there isn't any major differences as my model is perfectly beautiful any way with the strong brows which are perfect.
