Initial edited photos

I edited a mixture of the photos I took from my photo shoot, I feel that these are probably the strongest and would look great on my contents page or double page spread. Although unfortunately I don't feel that any of the photos would be suitable for my front cover as my model is only making eye contact in several of the images - it is conventional for the artist to look directly at the camera as it connects them to the reader and looks as though they are addressing the audience. I will probably have to do another shoot in order to gather images that would be more effective in the form of a front cover. I used a variety of techniques in photoshop to create each end result, such as black and white effect, experimenting with curves, vibrance, contrast etc. I even enhanced the blonde in her hair by increasing the yellow tone in black and white as seen below.
