First, I opened Lightroom, and imported all my images. I then created a collection named ‘union’, and moved them all in to there. I colour coded each image green, yellow or red. Green being the best, yellow being they’re okay, and red being not using the image.

I then rated all my green images 5 stars, so I can find them a lot quicker when filtered.

I edited my images using the develop bar on the right hand side of the screen, and played around with the filters until I liked what I saw.

Some Edited Images.

Image analysis.

I love this photo because I like how the sun is between both the models, almost creating a silhouette effect. I also like how the sky blends in to different colours, as well as seeing more of the island on the horizon, to then two friends on the bench. I think everything goes together. I believe this pictures presents friendship as calm and simplistic if you have made a good friend.

I love this image. I love how candid and natural it is. The way the left model looks up at the right model creates a fun but nurturing effect, almost as if she looks up to and admires her. I also love the colours in this image, I like how light and pastel the sky is which then reflects on to the stones and the models.

I quite like how this photo is from a below point of view looking up at the models talking. It makes the models the main focus of this image. It almost forces the viewer to think about the connection and friendship these two friends have.

This picture focuses on the joy and fun these two friends are having. I like how natural and candid this picture is, creating the idea these girls have fun a lot of the time.

I really like this picture as if they’re running off towards the sunset together almost creating a metaphor that nothing can stop them because their friendship means everything.

Same with this photo. I believe the picture draws the audience in to their friendship. I like the physical contact where they hold hands in this photo because it creates the beginning of an unimaginable connection a friendship can have.

I like how simple this photo is. There’s not much going on but, with what is going on, I really believe it shows two friends coming together when they need each other, creating a union.

This is probably one of my favourite images. The sunset reflection on to the beach creates a calming and relaxing vibe. I like how the two models are showing a strong bond by again, having fun.

I love this image. This is down to the colours presented in this image. I think its giving off a girly atmosphere with the light pastel colours shining on to their shoes and trousers. I love how simplistic but meaningful this picture is.

I think this photo creates meaning. Down to the head on the shoulder, and how quiet and peaceful the photo looks. I think it creates meaning of pure platonic love.

I like that this photo is engaging. I like how the right model is interested in what the left model is doing. This creates a sense of certainty and looking up to.

I really like how this photo has a lot going on, but its not too much. From the girls looking out, to the colours of the sunset amongst the boats, to the small plane in the far distance. The whole picture just comes together perfectly.

I really like how in this image, the sun almost separates them to remind the audience they are two separate people, despite how close they are to each other.

This candid image shows happiness. I believe that’s the most important aspect in a friendship. Having plenty of friends is good, however mixing with people who don’t benefit the life you want to live will not create happiness.
