Portrait
Portrait photography or portraiture is photography of a person or group of people capturing expression, personality and mood.
Mechanical
Mechanical objects are taken and placed in certain ways to give the effect of a strong but old piece of machinery.
Colour
Colour is in all photos and can be used in many different ways. It can be used to make the picture look more attractive and appealing.
Urban Exploration
Urban exploration is the art of finding abandoned places exploring them and taking photos as you go through.
For my personal investigation i have chosen the colour option, i find it the most attractive and appealing to the viewer.
I am going to be focusing my investigation on people, i am going to be taking photos of people doing daily activities and making the person white and black and what they are doing in colour .
Photo shoot 1This photo shoot i have got some vibrantly colored sweets and placed them in my friends hand. I have placed them in the center of his hand sop that the light from the sun can create shadows of the sweets. I will edit one of these images on photo shop, making his hand black, white and grey and keeping the sweets the same color, resembling to the color theme i have chosen.

Edit 1As you can clearly see i have achieved what i have wanted to do, make the hand black, white and grey and leave the sweets the same color. I used the magnetic polygonal tool to select parts of the hand that i want to create a different color, i then saturated the whole hand and also increasing the contrast of the sweets a little more. My next steps will be to experiment with this more and do more photo shoots using the theme that i have chosen.

Photo shoot 2This photo shoot I have used my colored water bottle to drink out of, i have used light outside to my advantage to create shadows and green shadows off of the colored bottle. I will use one of these images and edit it in photo shop so everything in the image is white, black and grey apart from the bottle. This time i will change the color of the bottle to make the edit seem even more interesting.

Edit 2I really like the detail and color of the bottle in this photo shoot. I have changed the color of the bottle like i said i would and make everything apart from the bottle black, white and grey. I also increased the contrast and played with the color and levels of the bottle to make that little more appealing to the viewer. I used the same process for this edit as i did for the previous edit.

Photo shoot 3This photo shot i have went outside and photo graphed some daffodils in the playground. I have tried experimenting with light, taking images at different angled getting more/less light than before. I have also took into consideration using depth of field. The background is blurry whereas the foreground is clear and crisp. My next steps with this photo shoot will be to edit the daffodil and turn it a different color and play with the levels, contrast and colors. I will also be changing the color of the background to black, white and grey.

Edit 3In this edit i have done the same thing as i have for [previous edits. I have made the background white, black and grey but i have changed the color of the flower to a more vibrant and strong orange than a dull darkish yellow. I played around with the level's, contrast and color to make the edit how i wanted it. I think the leaf sticking out in the foreground is quite cool because i have one piece of the foreground out of focus and then everything in the background out of focus as well. I also didn't want to change the color of the leaf because then it makes the petals and head of the flower stand out more so it can be the cynosure of the image.

Photo shoot 4
This photo shoot i have got my friend harry to hold a fire extinguisher away from the camera. I have made the camera be in manual focus mode so i can adjust the focus to the way i like and experiment with different iso settings and other settings allowing more or less light to be let in. My next steps will be to edit the images as i have before and desaturate the background and add contrast and experiment with the levels etc.

Edit 4
This is my fourth edit. i have achieved what i said i wanted to do which is the same process that i have done for all the other previous edits. I like this edit because the fire extinguisher really stands out from the image, it is the cynosure. I have experimented with the levels, the contrast and the colors. There was one problem with the editing because the nossle of the fire extinguisher kept on selecting the background rather than just the nossle. I had to use the polygonal tool instead of the quick selection tool.
