Look Book- Choosing and Editing The Images

Deciding to make a look book is a really good way of showing potential clients, VIPs and any other viewer the clothes up close and gives a strong still image that encapsulates key moods of the film. We chose the best images for mood, composition and quality, then edited them in photoshop. We felt the following images are the best.
For this image i changed the colour to black and with and have used Photoshop to remove a stray blade of grass that was at the front of the dress and lightened up shadows in the grass and sand dunes. This image is our favorite for the press release as it is powerful in atmosphere and contrast. We like the way the character is off to the right allowing a nice space for the text of the press release.
This image has been edited by taking the colour out of it and lightening shadows. We loved the spacing in this image completely different to the first image it has potential to be a front cover for a Dvd. This image conveys the sorrowful side to melancholy in an overwhelming way using the clothing as a metaphor, the volumes of fabric swamp the character as does the emotion in her face.

We really liked this image as a close up of the makeup and hair styling and the details on the top half of this first look. The image has been cropped and the colour taken away to be black and white, which as with the other images creates drama and high contrasting colours. The problem with this image though is it was taken by chance, and that i am infact on the phone. If I had not just typed this you may not have noticed, but we don't think we can afford to risk this image as it is going into a final proffessional look book.
