Change in Focus & Saturation

Changing focus & saturation of particular photos

I decided to lower the saturation to this photograph. This is because a lot of my other photos are very colourful, so I thought that a change in saturation would be very different compared to my other work. I used the angle called worms eye, this is due to the fact that all of my photos are very straight forward as they are taken eithe rfron on or to the side of the person. I like the way that my model is looking away while playing her guitar. Its more of a natural/ non-forced shot, which is exactly what i am aiming my magazine and photos to look like. This whole natural look for  my photos is exactly what my target audience want. The reason why I know this is because I completed a camera terminology questionaire to my target audience. The reason for creating this was so then I could make sure that I was including the right aspects of the magazine to suit my target audience.

I used the website called Pixlr to edit this photo. I used the feature called 'Splash' to make just the colour of the guitar look more vibrant compared to the dull, colourless background. Also I used the 'Focus' feature which just focuses on the part of the photo that you want by highlighting it like below. As well as making the guitar more striking, I also changed the amount of saturation for the background. This photo was taken on the move (action shot) this is because all of my other photos were all still shots and I wanted to add a variety of photos to aim to attract my target audience to want to buy my magazine.

 By using the feature 'Focus' allowed me to blur out the rest of the photo except for the guitar which is the main object of the photograph. I felt that this effect to this photo allows my target audience to clearly identify that my magazine is targeted at viewers who are interested in music.

I used this photo because it was a very clear shot of a guitar. I used the feature called 'Splash' on the website called Canva, this allowed me to increase the amount of the tolerance to the colour of the guitar. This made the overall photograph of the guitar look very striking, due to the black and white background allowing the guitar image to stand out a lot more.

 After I completed this editing for this photo, I really wanted to include the edit in one of my final pieces (Front page, Contents or Double Page Spread). I feel like this splash of colour would work really well with my theme of colours of my overall magazine because my colour themes include blue, grey, black and white which are all the colours that are included in this photo above.
