I have selected some of my favourite images from the shoot that are either un edited or edited just in camera raw ready for Photoshop manipulation.

This is my favourite close up shot from this shoot. I love the high clarity and shine of the pocket watch and the contrast of the highlights in the cup against the darker berry toned blanket. I focused on the face of the watch as I wanted it to be really sharp and the main focal point of the image.

This is the main image I am using to set the story for my set of images. I love the composition of this image. The main focus is on the model who is to the left hand side of the frame surrounded by various props such as a teapot, teacup and pocket watch.I have captured the texture of the location well and you can see lots of definition in the forest floor. I also like the way the model is not directly addressing the camera, she is looking at what she is doing, almost like the camera isn't there. This gives it a more candid feel and also adds to the look of the abandoned forest as she is the only one there.

This image is completely un edited however it does appear darker than when I shot it. To counteract this I will up the exposure slightly in camera raw. I controlled depth of field by using a wide aperture like F2.8-F5.6. This allowed me to focus on the teapot and blur out the background.
This are the three images I plan on editing and using as my final pieces. I will now edit and manipulate them in Photoshop to show what I have learnt over this project.
