1. Fashion Spread

2. Image 1
I chose this image to use because it has a
lot of room on the sides to work with
different crops and rotations. The Image
also has good lighting which makes the
image quality seem much better. The
image also has a crisp focus. I also like the
framing of this image, because the
subject’s head is centred. The actual
image itself fits my theme because it
shows a teen in cool looking clothing,
playing on a seesaw, which in most cases
would be considered childish. Since my
fashion spreads theme was teens in
childish situations, it fits well with my
intentions.

3. Image 1 Edited
This is the edited image for my first 2
pages of my fashion spread. I have
duplicated the image first in order to
create a mirrored effect. I have
corrected the exposure on the image,
as well as adjusted the curves,
vibrancy, and saturation in order to
make the image overall less flat and
more appealing. I’ve also added a
selective saturation on the right
image, and then tinted it to make it
sepia and black and white. I am
pleased with how it came out.
The sepia toning on half of the image
helps to create the cool theme, even If
the settings of the image is childish
and ultimately conveys my theme.

4. I chose this image to use the whole outfit
of the model is in view. Therefore it helps
to fulfil its purpose as a fashion spread.
I also like the lighting of this photo was
good. It also had a sharp focus. I also like
that photo has leading lines (slide and red
octagon) to draw the eye to the subject.
The ground’s colouring also helps to
highlight the models clothes because of
the contrast between the colours. The
image itself fits my intentions I had for
the photo, because the model is at the
bottom of a slide. It looks as if he had just
slid off and is posing for a photo like a
child would. This fits the theme I had of
putting teens in childish situations. I think
the facial expression of the model
conveys this as well, which is why I chose
this image

5. This is the edited image for my 3rd
page of my fashion spread. I have
slightly changed the contrast of the
image so that the sepia effect would
look better have also changed the
saturation selectively so that the
brown/orange will only effect certain
parts of the image. I have also slightly
adjusted the exposure on the image,
and cropped it in order to get better
framing. The half sepia toned image
follows through with the intention to
make the image look cool and
modern, while the setting contrasts
with its childish theme. Ultimately the
final edit of this image fulfils my
intention of having a cool looking teen
in a childish situation.

6. I chose this image to use the subject is
completely centred. The background of the
image really helps the clothes to stand out
because the green contrasts with the
clothing. The edges of the photo also give a
lot of room to work with. I think the
lighting in this photo is really good because
it has the soft look that helps to fit the
theme of my magazine.
The photo itself fits within my intentions
because I set out to capture a photo that
looked like the model was hiding under a
tree from someone. I believe in this image
the pose of the model conveys this, but
without looking too unprofessional or
childish. The mise en scene of grass also
helps to show a child playing in a park
which further conveys my intentions of
linking this to the ‘teens in childish
situations’ theme.

7. This is the edited image for my 4th
page of my fashion spread. I have
adjusted the curves in order to make
the black levels darker and more
defined. I have also lowered the
saturation in order to make the photo
more like the other’s in the set. I have
stuck with the theme of selective
sepia toning and low contrast with this
image. Following through with the
other spread images, the sepia toning
of the upper half of the image creates
a cool styled look, and almost grungy,
which contrasts with the fun, childish
background. That helps the image to
fulfil my intentions of showing a teen
in a childish situation.

8. I chose this image to use because out of
the other photos of this set, I felt this fit
my theme the best. The image was also
crisply in focus, and had good lighting/
white balance. Especially when
comparing to other images in the set. I
like that the black and grey ground
contrast with the black and grey outfit, in
almost a pattern, It creates a cool effect.
The image itself fits the theme I set to
create of teens in childish play, as it shows
that even a cool teen can play on a swing
set. I think this photo captures that idea
well, as the pose of the model is very
‘cool’ in contrast to the situation and
setting he is in.

9. This is the edited image for my 4th
page of my fashion spread. I have
adjusted the brightness, and white
balance of the photo, because the
photo has a slight purple tint to it. I've
adjusted the curves to give the photo’s
black levels more contrast to the white
levels. I've also again lowered the
saturation, and added a sepia toned
overlay to the corner. On this image I
followed the sepia toning style, but
have added the sepia to the bottom
half. This still helps to make the image
have a grungy and cool look to it. The
background swing set helps to show
the childish part of the image and
helps to convey my intentions of
putting teens in childish situations.
The edits to colour help to enhance
this.

10. I chose this image to use because it has a
lot of room on the sides to work with and
because of the angles it can be rotated in
multiple directions. The Image has nice
natural light and makes the image look
well lit. The models facial expression
helps to fulfil my intentions because it
shows my theme of a happy teen. He also
makes good direct address to the camera
which makes the viewer attracted to the
model.

11. I have cropped and rotated the image to
get the effect that I wanted in the image.
The edits ive made to this image shows
my intentions of the teen in a highlighted
view. By adjusting the colour curves and
exposure I have also brightened the
image. The way that ive highlighted the
eyes has made the model look happier
which fulfils my intentions of making
teens look happy with the way they are.

12. I chose this image because the models
pose and facial expression shows here as
being happy and powerful. It fulfils my
intentions of showing a teen that is proud
and happy with her body. The lighting of
the image also helps to give a radiating
feel to the look of the image. The lack of a
hard shadow also makes the image easier
to edit.

13. I have cut out the background of this
image and adjusted the curves to create
this final edit. I’ve also added a light
vignette so that she is in highlights. This
makes her look happier which further
fulfils my intentions of showing a happy
teen.

14. I chose this image because the
background Is easy to take out. I’ve I also
chosen this image because I like the angle
on it. The lighting casts no shadows on
the wall, and the model is centred. The
facial expression of the model helps to
fulfil my intentions of showing teens as
proud and happy.

15. The edited version of this photo has the
background cut out. I’ve also adjusted the
curves and saturation to give her a brighter
healthier look. This helps to show teens as
proud, smart happy people which goes with
my intentions of taking the image.

16. I chose this image because the background
of the image has no shadows cast on it.
The model is centred as well. The facial
expression of the model helps to show my
intentions as well as the pose, because
they make the model look proud of
himself, which goes with the theme im
trying to set of showing proud and happy
teens.

17. This is the final edited image of the photo. I
have adjusted the lighting so that the bg is
uniform. I’ve also adjusted the curves and
saturation on the photo. The way I have
framed the model makes him look like he is
proud as his shoulder look puffed. The light
also gives the photo connotations of being
happy. This helps to fulfil intentions and
convey my theme of showing a happy teen.
