experimental series






For this series, i decided on one style that i found when doing the experimental sketchbook. The style i decided to use was layering on photoshop and editing the layers separately. to do this you use the quick selection tool and use the (+/-) tools to select the right amount of the image you want. after separating the layers i used alot of vibrance, brightness and exposure.

Experimental Sketchbook




This past week I have been experimenting with two styles of photo editing. I used words to simplistically add a short caption. They are personal thoughts and sayings. In my other photographs, I experimented with  using photoshop. I found that by layering parts of the picture you can use effects to edit the layers separately, showing a very interesting result. 




"The Bird(s)"  I used photoshop to layer, made some edits to the color and used memory stamp to copy parts of the image over and over.


These two photos (the one above and below) are two different versions of what you can do with changing the backgrounds without editing the main color of the photo. For the spikes I used liquefy to change the emotion of the image. For the one above I turned the whites into blacks and darks.




This photo I used the space generated by the camera to frame my wording.



For these two photos (above and below), I used photoshop. I separated the photos by the top and bottom areas and layered them. I increased the brightness on the top part of the picture while putting the bottom in B&W (bottom photo). I then used sepia on iphoto effects to create the picture you see above.



 For these three photos (the one above and the two below) i used captions and separated the groups of words and faded them into the picture if necessary.
