Using Photoshop

Now that I have decided on the final pictures I will use in my lookbook, I need to edit some of them using photoshop to create a more professional final image and alter anything that I feel doesn't belong in the photographs, especially as it is meant to be a fantasy winter wonderland.

I am quite happy with the colours and contrast on most of the images and plan to keep them all looking as natural as possible. Therefore, I have decided I don't want to mess with the images and refine them too much as they were taken in a natural setting and I intend to keep them looking that way.

However my biggest editing task will be removing all the overhead telegraph wires and the electricity pylons that are in the background in some of the photographs. I do not want to keep these in the photographs as they spoil the idea that a winter wonderland is a fantasy land, and these will remind the viewer too much of reality and take away the idea they have escaped to a dream-like world.

Before editing you can see the faint lines of the telegraph wires in the top right hand corner of the photograph.

After the photograph has been editied in Photoshop to remove the telegraph wires using the clone stamp.
