Ruth edits:

Again I started with simple editing and looking for my favourites. 

 

 

Here, I shot the model walking down a path. The location was chosen after looking at the story itself and wanting to show similarities in the book and my images. I was adjusting the saturation, to make the reds brighter and more vivid. When, I desaturated it and made it lighter. This is what happened, even though the image doesnt really show red riding hood, I do think its a very appealing image. This is because of the composition of the image, the model is in the middle of the image, which makes her the main focus. This is also backed up by the leading line of the path. The light green of the flowers also harmonises with the brigh green location, this also adds to the appeal of the image.

I will be thinking about using this image as a possible over lay. This would also symbolise walking away from something, perhaps the wolf. Or it could symbolise someone hiding and being a different person inside, if placed over a portrait.


This image is a close up of a more fashion orientated model. She is looking into the camera, while her hood is up. This is casting a shadow over her face and adds to the dark feel I wanted to express in my images. The background is out of focus, due to there being a narrow depth of field. There is alot of grain in this image, specifically on the models face, this shows a high ISO.
For this image, I simply changed the levels slightly, then increased the saturation. I also used the burn tool to add emphasis on the models eyes and eyeliner. I hoped this gave a more darker feel to the model, instead of it being more fashion orientated.

Next I tried overlaying two images and using different models. 

 This image shows the opening of little red riding hood, by brothers grimm. It has been overlayed onto a portrait of red riding hood. I gained inspiration from Jean Loup Lafont. I decided to use a simple text ontop of a black and white image. This made the image very simple but also made the image lose the conotations of Little red. I think that the font was too plain and the background image also isnt too appealing and effective.

This image shows the change of font and image change. I personally like this image as the font seems more childish and audience appropriate. The font has a lowered opacity, yet it still readable. However,I think the image needs colour.

This image shows a overlay of a portrait and a landscape. Both images are in colour, which shows the contrast between the red hood and the green landscapes. The leaves are covering the models face, which suggests she is part of nature. This image doesnt really appeal to me as it doesnt seem dynamic and really eye catching. However, I think the colours work well and the next images that I overlay will have the same. I also like the path with the model as it links to the story.










This image shows an overlay of the two images at the top of the page. I really like the way the models face is captured between the second image models back. The opacity change allows both images to be seen. I have applied a slight burn to the top of the models head, just underneath the hood, to create a bigger/darker shadow and to add more mystery. However, I feel like this image can be improved. This could be by changing the colour/ turning it black and white or changing the portrait. Perhaps to a different model?
