Project 1 ( 30 x 2 )

                   I chose this photo because I wanted to show case my photoshop skills. I also love blending multiple images together. The way that I edited this photo was I went into photoshop and I used the stamp tool to fix some of the imperfections on the floor like dust that didn't look like they belonged in the photo. I chose a black and white filter because when I think of doll house's they give me a creepy-spooky feeling and the black and white filter also gives me that feeling. I also chose the black and white filter so I could create some contrast in the picture. I wanted to give the room a dizzy illusion so by taking two photos of the same room from different angles and put one on top of another and then making the top layer more opaque to create that look.

      I chose this photo because I liked the way the shadows on the floor look creepy in the whole creepy dollhouse feel. They way I edited this photo was with lightroom and photoshop. I photoshopped a doll like figure into the door way because I wanted something to make the room feel a little creepier. I cropped the image and I tried to contrast the colors and increased the exposure and that helped make the frame of the door a little whiter and it also helped create the shadow and dark effect in the doorway that I wanted to get in order to put the creepy lit up face in. I took an image off of google images and made it more opaque in photoshop and then erased some of the image. I like the 3D look the door frame has and the detail on the chairs. I also like that this is just a room in a doll house and it feels more like an actual room.

             I chose this photo because at first I loved the way the woman in red looked against the big metal doors at tiffany's. I decided to edit this by layering the many shots I took of her and create somewhat of a motion sequence of her walking.  I especially love the way her feet look after each step she took because you can see her picking up her foot to take the next step. I used a sepia filter and a board texture to make it look distressed and older. I also used a blurred effect to blur everything except the woman walking.

             I chose this photo because I liked the small detailing on the dollhouse clock a lot. I chose to edit it in a way to make it look like it was a drawing. I enhanced the detailing on the clock to make it more visible because in the original photograph it was over exposed. The clock in the edited photo almost looks like it was photoshopped in and looks like its coming out of the photo. The background in the edited photo looks almost like it could be fabric.

              I chose this photo because I thought that it's ironic that a man in a business suit would be smoking a cigarette. In the "before" photo, you see the man is looking down with a frowned face and his suit is a tad bit wrinkled. I decided layer and blend the before photo with one where he was inhaling the cigarette and I think his face in the before photo articulates the disappointment he has in himself by smoking. When layering this photo in photoshop I also decided to blend the walking sign and I overlapped the stop and go signals. I did this because when someone's trying to quit smoking it's a constant battle of whether to stop or continue smoking. I enhanced the brightness on this photo and did some contrasting. With this photo I chose not to mess around with changing it too much because I really wanted the focus to be on the message that I was trying to convey with a man in a business suit smoking.

       I took pictures of the pioneer courthouse square from many different angles but I chose this photograph in particular because I liked the symmetry in the building. I particularly love taking photos of buildings. At first the photo had a railing in it and it wasnt exactly symmetrical in the frame and by straightening out the photo and cropping it I lost some dephth that I had liked in the origonal. I layered and blended this photo with a photo of a chalk board and I chose this as a layer because I think it sybolizes all the school you have to go through in order to become a lawyer. I darkened the edges of the photo to create some depth and contrast that I had lost by cropping the original.
