Food Shoot

For the food shoot, we organized everything and used a flash. For edits, I used exposure because the original photos were too dark, and this gave it some dramatic lighting. I also increased the shadows and the clarity and decreased the highlights.

Photoshop Tutorial: Puppet Warp

For puppet warp, I selected her arm using the Quick Selection Tool and used it  to make a layer channel. I put it on a new channel. I was able to use puppet warp to move her arm around. Then I deleted everything on the other layers so the puppet warp is the only thing visible.

Photoshop Tutorial: Exploding Fruit

For this tutorial, a lot of layers were necessary to create the exploding effect. The eraser tool was also necessary to change the shape of the shards. The smudge tool was to give the outer layer of the orange an exploding effect, and motion blur was added as a smart filter to the groups of layers. 

Repeating Flash

For this project, the camera was set to an ISO of 100 with an exposure of 2 seconds at f/9.0. The dice were thrown and the camera captured them tumbling across the backdrop. Lastly, I also used the clone stamp in Photoshop to get rid of an unsightly line in the center of the photo.
