Value Range Essay

My value range images were taken near the Richland canal. A classmate took pictures of me in various poses, all while keeping the camera focused on the same spot. So I had to make sure to stay within its range, as well be aware of the lighting.

The main challenge for this assignment was to integrate all three images into a single one and change the lighting for each image to give the final image a uniform blend of consistent lighting; that way, it would look more believable. The main tools I used were the Dodge and Burn tools. The dodge tool was used on the left and right images (on my face and arms), since they were partially darkened by shadows. The burn tool was used on the shadows. As well, I went to Lighting Effects and used different spotlights (such as Normal and 2'o clock) to focus more light on the left and right images. The finished product looks, in my opinion, pretty believable.
