High Key Photography

Original Image

In this challenge we were told to experiment with high key lighting and then change the image in photoshop. Above is an image of my eye, in the first image there is nothing we have done, in the second we had to do a number of things. To take the original image in high key lighting we had to use a a set up similar to the one bellow, this is so there is limited shadows and not harsh light.

After taking the image we uploaded it onto photoshop and went through stages to change the image into the second one above. The first stage was to crop the image, to do this we selected the crop tool and made it so you could see just the eye, some people did it closer or further away but I chose to do it there as preferred to have it not too close nor far away. We then had to make the image black and white  to do this we used the black and white tool on the tool box on the right side. Then we changed the contrast, in the same box, so it was in more high contrast than before. We then used the burn tool to add the darker areas back to the photograph so we didn't lose features on the face, such as the eye brow and the nose shadow. We then went  to filter and added a grainy look to the photo to make the image look less pure and to give it an effect, I saved this image as a copy so I will not lose the original image if I need to change it to something else.
