I was going to have four photos, and then take the same four photos of my sister (Roman's mum) and my dad. and have one line of Roman, then my sister, then my dad. But unfortunately my sister is having some personal time and therefore I could finish what my aim was. I then planned to use my other sister (Roman's aunty) and still use my dad, but I felt that it wasn't going to follow a family line, father, daughter, grandchild. Three generations. So I decided to use six photos of Roman.
If i got to do the project again, or advance it further, i'd finish what I started, and get the same photos following the generations. I used Lightroom to correct the white balance, and to crop the image to get the image I wanted, next time i'd try different focal points to have more of a variety when chosing the image I want. Especially with the foot image as it didn't;t give me a lot of options on where to crop, especially due to the lighting. I decided to use natural lighting from the window in my living room because It gave enough light in the room and it casted some nice shadows.
I like in the image of Roman's head you can see the fine strands of his hair in detail. a lot of the images have fluff like in between his toes, and on his hands but I thought it would work with the images, because he is a baby, they always have stuff on their bodies, so it adds emphasis on him being young.
The eyebrow image could be a bit more clearer as well as the one of his fingers, and a larger focal point for the ear.
the final work came quite late, but its still come out quite well, although it does need to be improved as well as developed. Its been an interesting journey to be on, learning my strengths and weaknesses.
I'm really proud of my final work, I didn't think working in this way using macro would work so well, however it did and i'm happy with my final outcome.
