Photographs

For the images I want to use inside the booklet, I want to source as many from my own trip as possible, this is because I want the booklet to feel less like it's aimed at some sort of professional photography and instead have that feel of genuine people seeing the animals. However, these images are quite old and weren't shot with raw files, so I will need to go in and do a lot of editing for them to get them up to a higher quality. I also did not see all of these animals myself so I will need to source and credit the original photographer, as well as possibly edit them so they look similar. 
With how the booklet is laid out I will need; 2 photos for all of the big five and then at least 4 photos of Borneo in general to be used across a couple of pages.
I shall first edit all of the photos that are suitable that I shot myself, before then sourcing free to use photos from other photographers.


Editing Process
I shall only go through the editing process for one of these images, as in general the techniques should all be the same to keep the design cohesive, however if any photo is edited specifically different, those main differences will be brought up beside the before and after.

This is the image I'm starting with and the first thing I need to do is rotate it 90 degrees anti-clockwise so that it's in the orientation I need.
The reason I chose this photo is to show how Sun Bears can easily climb trees as well as how they behave when they are in groups. 

The first and key part of editing this photo is to open it up in the camera raw mode, it's not as effective when not done with a raw file, but does allow farther fine tune editing.

To do this, you first open the image in Photoshop and then go to filters, camera raw filter, from there it then opens like a normal raw file and can be edited. The main focus for my editing here is to make the whole image sharper and reduce the noise as much as possible as due to the old image and the high zoom I had on, it isn't the clearest image.

I really want to boost how vibrant the colours of the jungle was, so the main focus was to capture these high contrast settings, and this is what I've changed under the basic settings, and I will follow the same idea across all of them, but rather then copying exact numbers it will be eyeballed just because some may already have a higher contrast in the original photo.

Once it is edited in Camera raw, I shall save a copy of the image in it's original size and format before then checking the size needed in the booklet and creating a second one that will fit in there. This also means if the client wants to use the photos anywhere else to stay cohesive they have more freedom over what size and scale these image will be. 
Due to the new image being in a different scale to the original image, to ensure it fits I shall shrink it down to the largest measurement, keeping the two sizes linked so that it doesn't warp the image. From there, I will then crop the canvas so that it fits the other measurement without warping the image itself and move the image inside of it so that the least amount of the animal or in this case, animals gets cropped off.

Images:
Doing this also means I can remove the placeholder image I was using from TripSavy to one I have taken and edited myself.

Before and After editing and scaling for the booklet

Before & After Editing

For this image, which I'm actually going to be using for the ad, I have used almost the opposite settings to help deepen the browns and make it feel even more homey. The plant life at the top will leave a good less detailed part that I can use for the text.

This one was slightly tricky to edit considering that it was taken through glass

The main goal for this one is to make it seem like there isn't glass between the photographer and the subjects

This isn't the clearest image however, the other one shall clearly show the monkey, personally I just liked how it showed them in their natural environment.

This the last I have taken that can work, so I need to ethically source the rest of them.

Stock Photos:
It is very difficult to find free to use stock photos of many of these animals, due to how rare they can be, however, it is noted, that the client would be able to purchase some of these files for use or provide them by one of their photographers so that would not be too much of a problem. The place I am getting most of these from for this, is either free downloads from Freepik, or directly from their WWF profiles.
