This is my original photo. It is a long shot, which means everyone is centred in the photo. 
I manipulated my photo by adjusting the brightness and saturation so that the people are brighter, and stand out more. I also sharpened the edges around the people in order to get a clearer and bolder image.
I then filled the background in black, so that the people are the main and only focus.
This is my original image. It is quite dull. 
This is my image after i have manipulated the brightness and contrast, and have also filled the background in black using the brush tool. I did this so that the image will blend in with my magazine background, and the model will be the main focus. 
This is my image in black & white. Again i have manipulated the brightness, contrast and exposure, in order to make certain features stand out more-for e.g the eyes & the hat.
