Tommas 6.12.23

This is a photo I took of my boyfriend, Tommas, when we went on the mailboat tour on the Casco Bay Lines cruise. It was such a beautiful day with bright, blue skies. He hates photos, so I had to try to get one of him not really looking at the camera. It’s such a great photo already, but there were a few adjustments I wanted to make. The assignment was to edit the photo slightly, without changing the purpose of the image.

Using Adobe Lightroom, I adjusted the temperature and tints to make the photo warmer. I also modified the highlights and shadows. I used a lens to blur the strangers in the background, to keep the focus on Tommas. Finally, I used the healing tool to remove my reflection from his sunglasses. My forehead was taking over the whole photo and no one wants that, haha. 

Overall, I’m pretty happy with the way this photo turned out, but I think little changes could be better help with some other programs like PhotoShop.
