Graded Unit: Portrait IV (Roisin)
Studio editorial photoshoot with the Clean White technique, shot and conducted in the College photography studio with model Roisin Hodge posing in frame, wearing a teal coloured Shein designer dress, with white Boohoo high heels. MUA Ciara Johnston applied Roisin’s hair and makeup for this shoot. This shoot took place on Monday, May 22nd 2023.
Roisin also posed with small jars of the skin care brand, Estee Lauder, partially turning our photoshoot into an promotional advertising shoot to promote Estee Lauder skin cream.
My final images were optimised, edited retouched and colour corrected via Photoshop. The colour look-up mask layer setting was applied to the images, using the filmstock_50.3 setting with a Saturation blending mode setting applied.
Originally, this shoot was just to help out Ciara for her personal project. But the images and shoot were so successfully shot, I decided to include a few of these images into my own project.

Graded Unit: Portrait III (Ali)
My third shoot for my editorial fashion Graded Unit project and my second collaboration with model Ali. Ali and I shot within the Xscape Amusement Centre, located in Braehead. We did not have a MUA for this shoot, we shot on our own. This shoot took place on Thursday, May 11th.
Ali posed wearing a yellow Louis Vuitton varsity jacket black cargo trousers, with black and yellow shoes and a black designer t-shirt to go with the outfit. We discussed the colours of yellow and black for his outfit weeks before the shoot took place.
Apart from people walking into frame and having to wait for the frame to be free, the shoot went well without any problems occuring.
I was very happy to be shooting inside of the Xscape Centre because I had booked up and requested permission roughly 5 or 6 weeks before I even found a model and a specific date to be shooting on. I selected this location area to shoot in because of the giant white support beams on the centre’s ground floor that really caught my eye, and thought these beams would look super cool in the images’ foreground for atmosphere and design.
The final 7 images were optimised, skin-retouched and colour corrected via both Adobe Bridge and Photoshop. The colour look-up mask layer setting was applied to the images, using the Kodak 5205, Fuji 3510 mask setting with a Soft Light blending mode appliance with a 75% opacity and a 50% fill applied.

Graded unit - Printing the final 5
I have chosen to print at deadly digital as they have student prices and a discount they work out to be the cheapest for prints which is super helpful. I have chosen to print A3 on hahnemuhle studio enhanced matte paper, the price for these are £8.5per print which averaged out to be the cheapest option.
Hahnemuhle Studio Enhanced paper is a single-sided, matte coated inkjet paper with a bright white shade and a smooth surface texture. The matte inkjet coating guarantees brilliant colors and a sharp resolution for expressive images. The instant drying behavior allows for easy handling. With an attractive price performance ratio Hahnemühle offers an interesting paper for a wide range of applications such as photography, portrait, posters, signage, art deco prints and exhibitions of short duration. I chose this paper as it guarantees great colours and as my images are quite colourful and bright I felt that this paper would be the best fit to really make my images stand out, I chose the matte finish as I don't want them to be glossy and reflective, matte finishes allow for my images to be displayed in light areas without reflections, so the image is clear.
