Photos used for double page spread

Within this blog post, I will show you the photo I took which I included on my double page spread. There were a few different angles and shots I experimented with as I wasn't sure how my face would sit on the page, however I finally came up with a choice which matched the correct criteria. Here is the image I took for my double page spread:

This is the image I decided to use. It is a mid-angled shot which enables the reader to see the way I am positioned and the expression of my face. I purposly put one eye up and the other down so that it gave the image a slightly retro effect with a custom style. Additionally, this enabled me to change the eye colours in the final product with ease. This image was taken by myself with a tri-pod as I wanted to reinforce the skills I had learnt from angles and shots in previous media lessons. I then 'photoshoped' this image so that the background was minimised and did the nessassary editing needed to make the picture look proffessional.
