Aidos Photographs

I found Aidos especially difficult to shoot. This is primarily due to the MOCs top-heaviness and giant weapons, which do not allow for a wide range of poses. As a result of this, I ended up relying a lot more on close-ups and many of the full body sots were too similar for my liking. Another problem I faced was that the lighting was too dark, I think because the studio flash wasn't bright enough. Due to this, the usually white background came out grey, which I had to adjust in photoshop with the 'magic lasso' tool which automatically selects a an area, stopping were there is  a dramatic shift in colour. To make it worse, I broke one of my own rules and shot Eleos on the same day, so I had to do the same editing process for two batches of photographs. Fun!

These are the raw photographs, shot in JPEG on a DSLR with manual settings. Totally unedited.

There are less edited photographs than the raw versions, as some were scrapped during the editing process. In order to make these their current state, I have increased their contrast, saturation and cropped them down to 1920 x 1080.
