Before and after photo shop.

Here is my before and after shot that I uploaded onto photoshop. I used the crop tool to make sure all of the backdrop wasn't in sight. I then used the adjustments tool to make the image black and white. I then used the colour balance tool and added more warm red and pink tones to make the image look more warm. I made the brightness of the image a bit darker as it made it look more professional. 

3 Point Lighting

The Key light is used as the main source of light for the picture to be taken. An umbrella is used to bounce of the light as it softens it and makes the light particles scatter.

The Fill light is used to defuse the main source of light. It also has an umbrella to be used to soften and make sure there isn't any shadows in the picture.

The lights that are used are strobe lights and are used to bounce of the light particles. The camera and the lights are wireless instinct and when the shutter of the camera is pressed the lights flash for the image to be taken.
