This is my original picture that I didn't burn or dodge.



For this new picture, I used the burn and dodge tools. First, I burned it in the mid tones and shadows. I darkened the fence, her sweater, her dog, her hair, and the bottom left corner. My brush sizes ranged from about 150 to 450 and I used a hardness of 0% when I burned it. The exposure was from about 60% to 100%. Next I used the dodge tool mostly on the mid tones like the tree in the background. The exposure was at about 60%. The brush size was about 170 with a hardness of 0%.

Outdoor Portraits


For this photo, I edited it by changing the exposure times and changed the curves and levels. I photographed her in my front yard because this is where she likes to exercise so she doesn't have to go to a gym or mess up the house. This shows that she likes to stay fit and in shape.



To edit this photograph, I changed the exposure time to make it a little darker and cropped the edges to get rid of anything unnecessary. This photo is taken in my friend's front yard because this is where she likes to play with her dog. She loves to be with and play with her dog whenever she can.



In this photo, I cropped the edges and darkened the corners so the main focus is on the subjects. It was taken in front of her house in her driveway where her dog loves to run around. My friend loves her dog more than anything in the world.


For this photograph, I brightened certain areas, darkened the corners, and cropped the edges. This is taken in front of our house. This is important because the background is simple and not distracting. She is staying healthy by lifting weights and doing other exercises.
