These are a collection of the first photographs I took. The lighting was too light in them and so washed out the actors faces and made them look pale. The poses are similar to the ones I want to use for my poster and website but I need to take better and more flattering shots.
Because there were so many I have had to take a selection of them, otherwise there would be several pages of photos and brief descriptions of each one.These are a few shots from the second photo session. I had a model light here and so this time, the lighting didn't wash out the actor's faces.
Above is the original image and below is the Photoshop edited image. As you can see there is a lot of difference as I experimented with colour and modified the colour curve of parts of the image to enhance and lighten the colour. I have also used the clone stamp tool to lighten the skin underneath the eyes.
When editing this photo I used the Clone Stamp Tool to lighten the shadows around her eyes and the area above her right cheek.
I also used the Lasso Tool to highlight the blue in her eyes. This was to make them look more defined. First, by making the selection with the Pen Tool, I rendered the eyes and modifyed them by using Feather set at 3 pixels. I then adjusted the colour by adjusting the Colour Curve and setting it so the eyes were a deeper and bolder blue. After that, I used the Dodge Tool to create highlights in the iris and around the pupil and the Burn Tool to darken around the outside of the iris. I then adjusted the pupil by darkening it and then adding a highlight using the Brush Tool. I mimicked this precedure with the other picture of Axel below.
I then began to edit the main image of Axel who plays Tony in my trailer.
With this photo, I also used the method I used with the other photo to make the eyes stand out.
I also lightened the shadows the nose and chin
