Photograph manipulation

This is the original photo of my cover. To be able to have made this image my cover image, I had to carry out many tasks through Photoshop such as cropping around my artist and attempt adjusting mismatched skin tones in certain areas. Looking back on all my images, I now realise that this image wasn’t the best option as the lighting in the studio wasn’t at my best advantage as her shadow is vivid in the background and the lighting I could have possibly gained could have improved the quality of my artist as the brightness would have ha more of an affect on angle of gaze and her features which are the main attraction of the magazine.
I chose this image because I thought it had the most potential as her facial expression was the same as those of artists on covers of magazine such as Vibe or Billboard, the angle of my artists matches those to official magazines and my flatplan cover image and I was able to manipulate the shot type by cropping it to size. Here we see that I cropped around my artist through Photoshop as I decided to make the background a gradient fill of grey instead of plain white.
In comparison to the original picture, I attempted to get rid of a few flaws on my artists skin such as different coloured  patches on her skin and making the making look sharper as to stand out more to represent her image.
