To create these images i used artificial lighting from my bedroom which were the lamp as shown in the images and the spotlights in my ceiling. I used the 'manual' setting on the camera to get the effect desired, the images became quite texturised which I personally think came out really nicely. The images were taken by a hand held Nikon and all the images were edited on Photoshop using mainly the 'Curves' tool, 'brightness and contrast' and the 'crop' tool.
Image one -
Image one is one of my weaker images due to centralisation of the camera. The image itself displays four versions of the representation of line. The vertical and diagonal lines of the blinds, the lamp and the shade as well as the curved line of the mirror. I like the image however as previously stated if the image had been centralised then it would've flown better together. Editing wise i used the 'curve' tool and the 'burn' tool to emphasise the colour contrast between the shadows and highlights of the image.
Image two-
Image two of the blinds is similar to image one as i dislike it due to centralisation and the lights glare reflection on the blinds. To edit this image i used the 'curve' tool as well as the 'brightness and contrast' tool to get the required look. Personally i believe this image could be improved by more artificial lighting either side rather than mainly below the focus point.
Image three-
This image is one of my favourites. The simplicity of the lamp shaded gives a lot of definition and texture to the image. Suggesting it could be seen as anything due to the diversity. I edited this by using the 'burn' tool to create a harsher definition between light and dark.
I also cropped the image to get rid of the background so that the main focus was on the lamp shades contrast.
Image four -
This is also a favourite image of mine due to
the lamp shade simplicity. To take this i took
the lamp shade off and held it in front of the
lamp itself to create a sort of washed out affect
of the harsh lighting. I prefer this technique as
it's softer and creates a more dreamy effect.
I edited this by only mixing the 'contrast and
brightness' levels and i think the effect given is beautiful.
Image five-
I personally think this is the worst
image out of the five. The image is not
centralised at all, the balance is highly off
and the light is reflecting back on to the
blinds. It shows the different line directions
however not to the desired effect. I edited this by using the 'curves' tool only.
