End of world poster

this lesson i began to start my end of world poster and i made this by getting pictures that i liked from the internet and editing them through photoshop. i changed the colouring and the layers to make this final edit. i didnt use many of the tools and it wasnt that hard to make, the main tools i used was crop and the layers setting. i also took the orignial picture from the top of the mall and just added everything else. it took me about 1 hour to do altogether.

Broken glass effect

For this lesson i took a picture that was taken last week at the photoshot for bands and then i got a picture of broken and placed them both in photoshop, once they were there i then transformed the glass into the band picture and changed the layers options around until it no longer looked pixalated. i then horizontally changed the glass to fit where the lead singer was. i enjoyed this task because it was fun and made my skills on photoshop better then before.

Fashion Photography

Fashion photography has been around since atleast 1904 and that was by a man called Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton, the reason why it is so popular is because in today's age there are so many demands to look good or smeel good, so there are many magazines out there that tell you tips on how to look good and so on. the reason why there so popular is because the models they use are normally very attractive and many want to be them. Normally when picture's are taken they use airbrush, which is a tool you can use to edit your model or photo. you can change anything from the hair to removing bits of skin that stand out. its an amazing tool and sadly these days is used to much on people. Here to your left is a perfect example of airbrushing. The photo is taken and then edited and sometimes it has a huge effect or difference on the model.

Portraiture

Portraiture has been around many many years and to this day the most famous picture of all has to be the Mona Lisa created by Leoanrdo Di Vinci, that was made many centeries and as time has gone on generations of family's understand the importance of this picture. it is said that it took about 8 years to complete as Leonardo stopped and started this picture.




This is another picture with value. this pocture was taken when Churchill was in power and it shows that he ahs ower by the stance the picture si taken in. he is standing looking very serious witha  slight stance. It is also very good because of the detail knowing that this picture came sucha  long time ago.

Cecil Beaton was a very powerful portrait photographer and was known as the photographer during the inter war years. he managed to tell peoples mood's just from pictures, and manage to capture what was going on around the images. He is also famous for taking pictures of Marilyn Monroe and wasnt just a photographer he was a set designer, actor and painter.
