Okay so we decided we might want to add fire to our mini underwear bonfire to give it a more festive edge. I'm still unsure on if i 100% like the idea because i don't think that its something ASOS would ever do. However i wanted to try and create a toned down and minimal version that might have fire on it. I only added really small amounts around the bonfire itself as if it had just this second caught on fire. I didnt want it to distract from the underwear but it does make the image interesting. I made the lighting on the image slighter warmer too since the fire would be hypothetically warming the scene. I think i'm happy with the outcome of my image but for some reason i feel like i would rather use the none lit one, without the fire.

So above you can see the differences between my edited and un-edited photos. I wanted them to look professionals so i didn't want to go over the top with anything. As you can see i dulled out the colour from the rake picture and added a slight vintagette border. i cooled the lighting but added a warmer tint to even out the white a little more as i think its an important think that we don't lose the aspect of it being white. I cropped to zoom it in and added a lot of contrast to separate the colours a bit more.I said in a previous post that i wasn't as keen on that specific photo but i'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out.  However i still might to to broaden my Photoshop skills by trying to edit around a few leaves. 

With the bonfire image which i still love, i centred it in frame as much as possible. I darkened the edges keeping almost a spotlight like feature in the centre. Although i darkened the image i think i made the colour a little more vibrant as i felt like it really made the image pop. I think the black centre bra still takes the attention but a lot less since i added a higher contrast to the image to separate the shadows a little more.

Everyone i have shown these images to so far have all said they loved the Snowy underwear one the best. I do love how realistic it comes across, a fear of mine was the fake snow looking too fake but im super happy with the outcome of them. Especially the dead chirps leaves under the snow it links it to the other two images more, almost showing a life cycle for leaves. I don't think there's anything about the edited snow picture i wish i could of changed, since i added contrast, and darken the shadows the white underwear stands out a lot more in comparison to before which was our only one worry so i am really happy with that image entirely. 

I'm really happy with my edited images but im still going to have a play around. I think i tried my best to capture ASOS's essence within the pictures as well as maintaining our theme.

So the collection of images above no doubt looks a little strange. We wanted to keep to an 'earthy' theme as well as the earthy colours. and were doing this by envisioning October - November and December. We want our images to really sink into the best things about those months. However we wanted to stay away from Halloween and Christmas as they don't really have anything of a nature kind in them.

We want our October image to be lots of leaves! we are imagining them being raked along the floor with the underwear caught up in it. 

We want our November to be a bonfire, Yes this is technically a holiday but fire is a natural thing, and we thought that the building of the bonfire would look really good in a final shoot. 

The December image we wanted snow on white wood. We managed to source some fake snow and we are hoping that it doesn't come across too fake in the image itself.
