DEFINITION - composite image making
Personal opinion-
I personally believe to manipulate a digital image like that
as it enables people to customise things to how they want,
i also believe manipulating an image like so for children is
acceptable as it helps them be creative and imaginative.
However i do not believe it should be used in the media
to portray news as it could be seen as false advertisement
or a false environment.
Definition-
The process of digitally assembling multiple images that is
mainly and typically used for print photography to manipulate.
Negatives-
People can believe it is normal, and don't realise there is
something wrong with the image and therefore can potentially
equip a mental illness such as body dismorphia, bulimia or anorexia.
Positives-
Being able to manipulate things for an aesthetically pleasing effect.
It enables the impossible to happen.
Here is an example i have created-

WORK DIARY - line
How I created these images-
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 three-
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 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.

WORK DIARY - movement
How i created these images-
To create these images i used a light box and a reflector in a studio environment. A manual tripod was also used to create the stability needed for the models. I asked the model to move around, moving her hair and body vigorously so that the image was portrayed as moving. By doing so it created a really interesting look which i really liked- personally i loved this topic as it enabled my creativity to flourish.
Image one-
This is my favourite photo out of the five that i took. I personally love this portrayal of movement, the vision of the hair and the jacket moving especially. The lighting creates a sort of washed-out effect which i significantly like. To edit this i used the burn tool to darken the coat and left bottom hand corner. I used the black and white tool also and darkened the emphasis of the black and white.
Image two -
I like this image of the model i edited this by duplicating the image, then flipping and reversing image one i then put them both on a new canvas and then edited it into a lighter more washed out black and white.
Images four and five - These images are also ones that i wish was of better quality. I edited it by using the black and white tool and the curves tool. The camera is not centralised on image. The background is bitty and not a blank canvas. It isn't the turn out i would've liked. The images are blurry also which is something i do not like.

Image three -
I love this image of Kia as it specifically shows movement of her hair. However i wish the image was of better quality. I edited the image with the black & white tool and the curves tool to darken.
