A Photographer’s Workflow - Infographic
Our second task was to make an infographic showing the six stages of a photographer’s workflow. I tried out Canva to make one, it took me a little while to get my head around using it but its quite simple once you know how to work it. Once completed, I saved my infographic as a JPEG to my MacBook Finder.
Folio 1 : Section 2 Final Piece
A re-upload of my final piece with better lighting.
Painting to sound. Inspired by Everything At The End Of Time by The Caretaker. I used coffee as a base then painted over it in ink to give it depth, fixed tracing paper and grease proof paper using a running stitch. Final touches done with gold leaf and attached oyster shell buttons ✨

Post Production - The Photographers Workflow
This was the second part of our first task this morning.
First task was to write up, with images, a given topic, my group had Import, we were to discuss and post to Padlet our findings.
The second part was to produce an infographic (individually) containing the information we discussed and investigated and posted to paflet this morning as a group
This infograph was created in Adobe Spark and downloaded as a jpeg
Capture to Output
A Photographer’s Workflow - Padlet
The first part of today’s Post Production class was to think about the steps a photographer takes from capturing an image to the final product. We were put into breakout rooms on zoom, with each room being assigned a different process to write up about on Padlet. Thank you to @photographyby-hayley for typing and posting about editing on Padlet on behalf of our group :)
My Photography Workflow Part 2 - Optimise
In this section I’ve chosen one image from my still life images to optimise
First of all I imported to Lightroom from Bridge the image I wanted to optimise, you can do this by drag and drop then follow the open window instructions or you can click on import which takes you to the same windows if you want to import from a folder
Next I changed the view of the image in the middle to loupe, so that I could see it a bit better
On the left of the image is a preview and history of what has been / is going to be done to this image, on the left is the histogram
Next I went to develop, this allows me various choices to optimise my image - see on the left below the histogram
I didn’t want to do very much to this image, and I wanted to keep it low-key so I lowered the exposure a fraction and the contrast, but I didn’t want to lose to much of the vibrance in the colours so raised that to no more than 5 as I still wanted to keep the old look, I also did some noise reduction
As you can see from the two histograms, on left before, on right after, that there has not been much change to the image, only the low key impression seems to have gone further to the left of the histogram, which is exactly what I wanted. The small changes in the peaks of the colours, I’m assuming relate to the changes in those actual colours in my image.
