broken mirrors- Edits and pairings,

After alot of faffing about with photoshop, cropping down and adjusting the contrast, brightness and vibrancy of the images taken before, i finally achieved a look i was happy with. They do have the colour and similicty that reminds me of warhol's pop art movement. The colours are stand out and work perfectly against the adjusted brightness causing the skin to appear white.  the framing too is important and i think these images suit having the square frame, which in turn could allow me to go full page with these images without loosing anything.

The next step was to find 'mirror' images that would corrispond well with these images. Out of the mirror images i have so far, the selection for the lips image was not so difficult, as it entailed finding the image of the red heart mirror with the best focus and reflection. The match for the eye makeup was abit  more tricky but i soon settled on one that had a good focus and reflection. Again with these images i applied the same edits that i did these image in photoshop, adjusting the brightness slightly and the vibrancy on the colours. For the black hearted image i also adjusted the colour balence to slightly more cyan, so that the colourisation of the image was slightly more bias towards the blue, matching in with the paired image of the blue eyemakeup. The change is subtle, but when the two images are placed next to each other it should be noticible enough to make the association between the two.

On there own they still dont look like much, but put together with their pairings and they actually are rather effective and pleasing to the eye. the simplicity andbeauty is something that i hope to show progressively through the book. Looking and how well these came out, using the process (with out all the shit images and progression between) i think if i collect a different mirror and shoot a few more similar but vaired images that i will be able to collect a good selection of images for this 'superstition', but must remember to keep on the theme of vanity as well as rmemebering colour association and such that seems to work so well in these images.
