Shooting Directions
Work with a partner, you will shoot their photo and they will shoot yours. You will edit the photo of you.
MODEL: This is a model headshot, so it will be relatively closeup. Put all your weight on one leg and pose with curvature to your body so you look human, and not like this is a mugshot! Bring one shoulder closer to the camera, and relax! Have fun with it.
PHOTOGRAPHER: Remember to consider all camera settings to ensure good lighting and focus. Make sure to take the photo as a full-body or at least waist up.
You are perfect the way you are. Really – I mean it. But for this exercise, we are editing your photo in a Hollywood style, just to learn how it’s done.
Use liquify to edit facial proportions, smooth the skin, brighten the eyes, whiten the teeth, remove blemishes, etc.
Complete your cutout and save as a .PSD (Photoshop Document).
