My Response to jack hick's work

My Response Plan

To respond to the work of Jack Hicks, I intend to take and edit photos in Photoshop .

My work will link to my artist because I will also do the same poses and use the same colours when editing and try to make it as similar as possible. 

I will need myself and jess as the models and I was the photographer. we both had long straight hair when these photos where getting taken just like the ones in Jack Hicks photos. 

The equipment I need will be a ring light with orange colour gels, a camera, DSLR Camera. I used the orange on the ring light to cause a back light effect. 

I took my photographs behind a black background.

I will include the compositional rules and formal elements of framing, colour, balance, centre eye dominant and contrast between background and subject.

This will link to my theme by the model giving off hurt and bruised mood until the one photo which shows the sadness in her face.

My Three Photoshop Edits

To edit my photo of ___ I opened it in Adobe Photoshop and [What Photoshop tools did you use and why? E.g. I cropped it so that the focal point of the work was the chips themselves and so that I didn't have as much negative space. I then increased the saturation and vibrance to bring out the yellows in the chips and the colours in the burger, in the style of my photographer. I increased the brightness and contrast of the image as well to replicate the look of it being taken with a flash. I then added noise to give it a grainy, film-like look to make it feel more nostalgic.]

To edit the ___ photo I opened it in Adobe Photoshop and [What Photoshop tools did you use and why? E.g.  I cropped it so that the teapot was centralised and I increased the vibrance and saturation to make the colours bolder, like my photographer does.]

For the ___ photo, I opened it in Adobe Photoshop and... [What Photoshop tools did you use and why? E.g. I cropped it so that the sign was in the top Third of the Rule of Thirds so that the viewer's eye was led to it. I then increased the saturation to emphasize the colours and added grain.]

Which edit do you feel has been the most successful and why (link this to your photographers and theme)?
