Flora Borsi - WIP

Here Is the photo that I have chosen to be the best from the shoot ready to edit.

Here I have tweaked the exposure since the camera settings were making it slightly too dark.

I have changed the colour of the background to blue to make it fit the colour of the original image that I'm copying.

Here I have added light shadings to the model's skin to imitate the skin lightness of the model in the photo. I have also changed the colour of the dress to be less see through and brighter white.

I have added shadings to the background and more skin lightness to some areas of the skin and I have also tweaked the colours of the paint on the plastic.

Here I played around with changing the hair colour to fit the colour of the model on the original image and I faded it out to make it look natural.

Artist Emulation - Flora Borsi 'Ireel'

Flora is a young fine art photographer from Hungary. She uses exquisite photo manipulation to create surreal images that are thematically focused on identity, relationships, emotions and dreams. Her work often features the female body and she plays with hiding and revealing the eyes or face to leave only the feminine form, exploring questions of female representation and the relationship between body and self. 

All of her images from this series of photos feature a blue background with an orange tint to everything else. These colours complement each other very well creating a peaceful atmosphere within the photographs. The model is holding a a plastic sheet of a piece of glass with orange paint on it creating some sort of barrier. She is shown either naked or very lightly clothed. The contrast is very high and difference between white and black tones is very high too creating a very unique style.

Artist Emulation Plan - Flora Borsi

I am planning to emulate the artist Flora Borsi. 

Her work mainly features a female model hiding parts of her body showing off her feminine aspects. Borsi's work is often portraying surreal and eery photographs, which thematically focus on identity, relationships, emotions and dreams.

Things I'll need to sort out before hand: 

> Plastic sheet 

> Coloured paint

> Female model

Things to focus on:

> Making sure that the lighting creates the nice transition between light and dark colours.

> Thickness of the paint

> Reducing the reflection off the plastic sheet

> Posture of the model

AV and TV modes

AV

AV mode is the setting that prioritises aperture. It allows the user to select a specific aperture value while the camera selects shutter speed to match it that will result in proper exposure.

Amanda Rodriguez

TV

TV mode is the opposite of the AV mode. The user selects the shutter speed that they want to shoot their photographs in and the camera chooses the appropriate aperture to properly expose the image.
