Below are the images I shortlisted from the MAC shoot.
It's very hard to select a final image! I hope you'll agree with my chosen photo!
These are unedited, with the exception of the final image at the very bottom.
Some of these are nice photos of Toni, but I've observed that MAC's advertising campaigns don't tend to include smiley pictures. So that helped me pick the one I picked.
I quite like this angle...
This is a risky decision, as this image is a bit over exposed, but I liked the 'High Key' effect and it was rather flattering.
That's why, after much deliberation, I chose it and edited to make it my FINAL IMAGE.
I think it works. I hope you'll agree.
Besides adding the brand name to the photo, I softened the skin, got rid of some lines (such as under the eyes), saturated the lipstick and eyeshadow, increased the contrast on the eyes...
I followed Scott Kelby's step by step portrait retouching techniques, from a seminar I attended last year in London.
I'm pleased with the outcome.
What do you think?
