Edited images

For this photograph, I used the dodge tool in Photoshop to lighten the background underneath the text - this makes the black text stand out much better. I also adjusted the exposure, contrast and saturation to improve the look of the image.

I heavily cropped this photo, to improve it's look and remove any undesired elements from it. It's also cropped to a square format to fit in with my contents page.

I used the clone stamp and healing brush on this photo to remove any blemishes on the skin, and the reflections from his eyes. I also played around with the exposure, contrast and saturation to improve the look of the photo. It is also cropped to a square format to suit my contents page.

This is the most heavily Photoshopped image I have produced - using the clone stamp and spot healing brush I completely removed the doors from the background. This was a hard job to do, as I had to preserve both the shadows and the effect of the light on the wall behind. I then increased the saturation to increase the impact of the photo, and cropped it square to make it fit in with my contents page.

Other than increasing the contrast, exposure and saturation of this photograph, the only thing I have done is crop it - I made sure to preserve the original format of the photograph. One of the main pieces of feedback I recieved was the way this photo was cropped, as there was only half of the LIFE logo visible in the background. Despite efforts to photoshop the logo out, it was far too complicated, and instead I opted simply to crop the photograph differently.
