I have to use black and white film, and when i make the prints, i somehow want her eyes to be brighter and draw the attention from the picture. how can i do this?

Answer 1

when you make the prints , try to dough her eyes when you're in the darkroom

make a 8 x 10 paper of all black and leave the holes on where you want to brighten up

Hi Vega

What you need to do is use photoshop and use the contrast tool bruch on the eyes only.

Set the contrast to very light and apply the contrast gradually until you like the effect.
