Project 8 Commercial Portraits and Fine Art Portraits

Project 8 

Commercial Art Portrait 

I took down the brightness and exposure an made the clarity really really sharp and crisp. Then I brought out the red but very densely. Which gives the shoes the extra pop they need to make it look like they are popping out at you.

Here I brighten the whites and and tried my best to really darken the blacks. I made the clarity a little bit blurry to give it a softer look. And there are two main things that catch your eye. One happens to be her, the other happens to be the water bottle in her hands.  

Fine Art Portrait

Here I took a lot of the whites up but just enough to make sure that there is glow around his figure. I also took the saturation down a bit but still left a little bit of color, then I took the clarity to the highest point it could be which makes it look really rough and scratchy. 

Fine Art Portrait

Here I used a preset then took the clarity way up and took some of the lightness out and made it look really really rough. And the reason I didn't crop the brick wall out is because I think it makes it more tough and since it's just a wall you don't really focus on it and your eye catches him and just focuses on Q.
