Photographs

I have been taking the photographs of lilies at different stages for my t-shirts this week, I have photographed them in many places, such as against a white wall - lit from different angles to create shadows, and in front of a window to show the texture of the petals.

I decided to print all of the photographs after editing them, and I stuck them in my sketchbook to help me decide which ones I wanted to use.





I wrote about the reasons the photographs were good/bad/suitable and decided that the 'Old' and 'Teen' ones weren't suitable and that the backgrounds needed to match and so I decided to wait for clear blue skies again. After waiting for a few days and having nothing but heavy rain I decided to buy some light blue card and use that as my background. I then used Adobe Photoshop to edit them.

I didn't like the texture of the background I was getting with the card and so I took some more, I then realised that I could just change the whole background in Adobe Photoshop to look like the photographs I was already happy with.

These are now my final photographs and I am really happy with the way they've turned out, they now look like a collection as they have the same backgrounds and are photographed in the same ways. I just need to choose the photograph I will use for the 'Old' flower, I think I will choose the 2nd one as it's closer and so you can see more of the detail in the petals. 
All of the photographs were taken whilst I thought about capturing the femininity of the flowers, by capturing the curves and forming shadows.
