Project 5: Traditional Regalia-Printing Compositions

This is the original copy of my first final print. I asked Barbara to be the model for this picture and so took these photographs in the media lab. It was quite dark in the room and so, I used ms.dele's flash to make it lighter and less blurry. Because my camera's flash was broken, all the photographs tended to come out blurry. This was the least blurry one out of all and I used photoshop to edit the photographs. I'll explain the editings on the final prints section.

This is the original print for my second final print. As I already told ms.dele, I was not so crazy about this print because of the fan's color. However this is the contemporary version of Japan's traditinal regalia and so, I continued to work with this. Just like the one above, this picture was blurry, and so I tried my best to hide this through Photoshop. There was no extra lightings except the usual lights of the room that the photo was taken in.

This is the original copy of my last final print. This was taken at home and I had to fix the lighting so it focused on the subject. However since the lighting was from above, the shadow of the subject's arm was too dark. I also did something to this via Photoshop. The model was my mother, and she did not want me to take any photos with her face in it and so I only took photographs of the clothing.
