Key Photograph No.5
I made these photographs for my Poster, the idea is to show where the action is happening.
I chose the least blurry photograph that fits everything that needs to be shown.

I cropped it to fit the frame, made it black and white and improved it with brightness and contrast.
I cropped the photo a bit more and fixed the size and added more contrast configurations.

Demolished building - Terry's style is straight forward, he takes photographs of things that look good.

WONDER BREAD - probably a sandwich caffe/bakery, nothing too important, maybe he found this funny.

Key photograph No.2

I made this photo for DVD box back to show an action part from "the movie"
i used a mid-close up shot for facial expression to make an intrigue.
This photo shows the best facial expression and it was the least blurry/shaky shot made.

I cropped the photo to the right size to make rule of thirds, I made the photo black and white and then improved brightness with brightness/contrast tool.
I made the photo to be rule of thirds, changed the color and also improved the brightness to make the photo look artistic.

Key photograph No.1

I wanted to make a photo of the main character look like falling from the sky.
Character laid on the ground and I took a photo from above, when cropped/inverted it looks like he's falling from above. 


I have chosen this photo because it shows the falling emotions the most and it helps to look more realistic.
I cropped the photo to the character because i only needed him in shot, and then I used brightness & contrast to make the photo lighter and also i used hue/saturation to strengthen the colors because it looked blurry before.
This photo was improved with colors it was cropped to the right size and have been brightened.
