Below is the 'between two trees' photo i created for my series of final images. I will then discuss how i got to that stage and what developments i made along the process.
Here is a selection of my first images i took when i was experimenting what i could use as the pathway or stairway from one tree to the other. This included broken branches, bushes from peoples gardens and even stepping stones. Some i imagined would look most unrealistic in comparison to my original idea which was to use a daisy chain. I also collected a variety of different trees that would look realistic along side each other with a daisy chain in the middle of them. This was hard as some trees where either too far away or at a peculiar angle. However i did collect a few images of potentials that i could use. One image below stands out from the rest as it is one i tried first to see if the daisy chain would fit onto it. I felt this looked very magical and aesthetically pleasing the way it spiraled up the side of the tree, but the only issue was it didn't really resemble a staircase, more a tight rope. I therefore left that image and continued with another. The images of the daisy chain where taken in different angles and positions so that i could Photoshop them in my image will more ease and that they would also look a lot more natural rather than me cutting and chopping them up so obviously.
First image
Below is the first image i created for 'between two tree's.' I used this landscape and trees as i felt that it made it a lot more interesting and allows more room for me to put the daisy chain and for it to sit comfortably. I also liked the addition of the daisy chain going up each tree trunk like i did in my very first attempt above. I did this by simply copy and pasting the daisy chain, rubbing out the access and rotating it so it fits neatly around the tree. I think this looks very believable considering, as each daisy is in focus and cut out in such detail. The filter is a mixture between green, red and yellows all together. I did this as In Laurent Cheheres images, you will sometimes find she has added a slight filter whether it be on the clouds or the image as a hole. This makes the image a lot more textured and focused so that the audience's attention is constantly enticed. It is also subtle and easy on the eye so there isn't so many bright bold colours filling the image and taking away the attention from the key elements. However, the only issue with this image is the positioning of my model, as i feel it could be a lot more effective if it where to be running or leaping rather than such a stationary image. The model also has a much to high red filter on that is harsh, making the model not flow with the filters of the rest of the image. Therefore to improve this image i will adjust the position of my model so that it looks a lot more exciting for the viewer to see.
Final image
Below shows my improvements to the above image and what i have decided will be my final image. This photo was copied and pasted from one of the leaping stepping stones collection of images i took. I used this body position as i felt that it made the image again look like it was a freezed movement of him running which is a lot more exciting due to it being an action shot. The pose before didn't allow as much energy and wasn't giving an effective vibe to the audience. With my models layer i only used the contrast and brightness tool to make the image suit the scenery more. As it was taken outside in a similar time of day the shading and the green yellow tones where almost already in the image, and just needed a little tweaking.
