the final editing

I need to finish editing my images so that i can get the test prints sent through to ralph, plus also they need to be done by saturday so i can print them through harvey norman. So im staying at school til late until i can get them edited in time.

After looking through the poems i have decided to go with this one.

It is the one poem that spoke to me the most and i feel that it suits my project 

After doing my first couple i realise that i dont have enough silhouettes to finish my set off but i dont have enough time to go and take some more so i went though google and pinterest see if there was any photos that i could down load that wasn't copy righted and i found three that i could use.

I hope for my next project that i am more better prepared than this but in the end these images did enhance my project a lot more than if i hadnt used them. I ended needing to get my photos all done by wednesday for ralph to make me a test print. 

this is my introduction shot, i believe that i dont need anything in these eyes, so instead i played with the overlay brush the colour dodge tool the multiply took and the burn tool to bring out a more deep colour in these eyes which speck for them selves

This is my second to last photo i thought that by adding this photo with no reflection shows that she has been broken, nothing left, same as poem. also a wind down photo

i wasnt completely sure about using a long exposure shot for this photo because i am not sure that stephanie will show up at all when it is printed but i love the fact that it looks like she is fading in this photo that she is a mare reflection of who she use to be, this is also a photo of stephanies eye as well, i felt that they were well suited together. 

This is my closing photo i thought it was more symbolic to close this project with the eyes shut to show the end of both the sad ending of the poem and the project it self. 

These are the final 15 that i finished with, i was aiming for 20 but i couldnt push these any further. but by the time i got to 15  i felt that i was repeating these to much or i wasnt doing enough to these photos to make them more interesting so i am glad that i didnt end up going the full 20.

in using many different eyes, from different people, with different skin tones and different colours and different ages and different genders that i  could show every one that this poem isn't speaking just about one person but a very common problem in relationships that it is not bound to gender or race or age, it is a new age for love and life, it's all changing.
