For the theme of waiting, I took a picture of a computer buffering a video as I believe this would be relatable and therefore make a good image to use- a lot of today's society is wound up in social media and therefore seeing a video buffering may be what they see on a daily basis. For the editing of the image, I used Solarize on Photoshop to change the entire vibe of the image. The original image looks very bland, boring and monotonous, but after editing, the image looks colourful and more enjoyable, which is what I tried to convey. I wanted the image to resemble that you could make the symbol of a video buffering/loading into something fun.

For love I decided to take a picture of a sheep with a lamb as i believed this had a strong representation of love. For editing, I adjusted the contrast and saturation to help make the sheep stand out. I did this as I believed that making the sheep stand out was vital for the image as they were the main components to help signify the love in the image. The boldness of the sheep's appearance was made to show that love can be easily visible when you look close enough.

For colour, I took a photo of some flowers. For editing, just like the sheep, I adjusted the contrast and saturation to help emphasise the colour. It was just as important for me to do this as I wanted to make the flowers as vivid and colourful as possible, while not being too hard on the eyes. The cropping of the image was useful as well, as by doing so it allows for all the flowers to be seen in a comfortable view.

For Technology I took a photo of some computer monitors. I thought this captured the theme of technology very well as computer monitors are a very common piece of tech nowadays. For the editing of the photo, I thought it would be a good idea to mess with the colour balance a bit to give the background of the image a bit more colour which could easily contrast, but not mess with the main piece of the image terribly. I wanted to give off the feeling that technology has merged so well into our everyday lives that it stands out very easily. This was shown when the colour of the cabinet, which was turned purple, and the wall, which was turned yellow, which became less important due to how the monitors stayed white, and were put in the center of the photo.

For study, I wanted to make the models look as if they were fully concentrated and focused on their task, which I think I was able to present quite well. The editing was an increase in brightness to show the models more, and a dimming of the outer part of the image. The reason for these edits was because I wanted to show that the models were so focused on their 'task', that their surroundings were slowly disappearing.
