Cover Photo


These are all of the photographs I have taken. I have used a female model with a white background and dressed her up with and indie look with a cream dress, black bowlers had, black DMs, black lipstick and black makeup. I had decided to do this is way as I feel this is what represents my magazine genre best. I have also taken many pictures so then I have a wide variety of pictures to choose from.

After looking through these pictures I had decided on the picture I wanted to use and decided how I would manipulate it.



The first thing I noticed about this picture was that itself it looked extremely dark. So I adjusted the image slightly by moving the levels.



I then used the lasso tool to select the whole background of the photograph and then adjusted the photograph by changing the levels to make it white so then the model would stand out.



I then used the levels again to make the whole photograph itself seem brighter.




When I zoomed onto my models face, I noticed some dirty marks or errors made with the makeup so I mostly used the cloning tool to correct these errors. I did this by removing the shine from the end of her nose, adding black to her lips, and removing the dirty marks on her face.


Final Cover Photo

I have decided to leave my cover photo like this as I feel that this is a powerful portrait of my model. I have changed the background plain white to make the model stand out more and I have also noticed that a lot of my research used plain backgrounds so the model if the main focus. I also made the photo brighter so it didn’t seem too dim. I also made some correction on her face to make the image as well as the hair and makeup seem more professional.
