Portraits

To edit this picture I made the whole thing black and white. After I used the brush tool to add contrast to the background so that she stood out more.  

To edit this one I edited the picture as it was in black and white. I used the brush tool to make her in color. After I upped the exposure and highlights to make her brighter. I wanted to make her stand out more.

To edit this one I used the brush in Lightroom to lower the saturation in the background. I cropped it to take out unnecessary parts of the background.

To edit this one I upped the brightness and vibrance so that she stood out against the dark background.

In these pictures I was trying to communicate my friends personality. She's super cool and adventurous and I wanted to make these pictures show that. We went and walked down Telegraph in Berkeley and I took pictures along the way. The first images shows her love for music which I thought was important because it's such a big part of her life. The second one shows her easygoingness self and the third her love for photography. The third one is important too because in the background it says "dig in. pitch in." which is something that she follows and is important to her. The forth one I wanted to emphasize on her outfit and style.
