Macro

This photo is a macro photo of my Nintendo 3DS and the texture on the gloss as well as the edges and the difference in contrast the camera gives the photo overall due to the overwhelming ocean of blue.

This is a macro photo of my pair of RayBan sunglasses from the side in the lightbox. The light from the lightbox, due to the sunglasses' transparency, shines through and gives us a cool effect underneath, showing the sides of the RayBans.

Photo Restoration

This photo is one of the four photo restorations I've done for this project. This specifically is a photo of my dad crouching in front of what looks like a 1980's Lamborghini Countach, which is a older model that is no longer in production since 1990. In this photo, I had to edit the Brightness/Contrast as well as the Saturation and also Despeckle the image.

 This photo is the second one I restored out of the four for this project. This one specifically is my mom at what looks to be a pizza place or something like that. For this photo, I had to go through and take care of the blue line in the photo, plus Brightness/Contrast, Saturation, and Despeckle as well.

This is the third photo I restored out of the four I did. This one is a photo of my dad when he was a kid in school. For this photo, I had to edit the same things as the other photos as well as spot-heal the speckles in the top right and on the shirt. 

Finally, this is my last photo that I restored. It was taken from the school's folder of available pictures for this project specifically. I had to go in specifically and take care of the over-exposure of the man's face as well as the contrast of the entire photo and despeckle too.

Product Photography

This is Gradient Photography. Gradient Photography is used to advertise products and attract people to use their product and become a regular consumer. This effect ends up swelling their finances and thus raising more money for the company.

This effect is the Lightbox effect. This is used to give products a more positive look due to the overall balance of light as well as the outstanding contrast of the product to give the consumer the feeling of relief when they buy the product, believing it's the best they'll find.

Finally, this is SFX (Special Effects) and the Lightbox effect. Special Effects are used to allow the product to look much better than just only the Lightbox effect by itself. Naturally, using them both to your advantage is a very smart idea for the fact that the contrast forces the color to pop out and coerce people to buy the product and overall make the company money.
