Forced Perspective



I had to cut the squirrel into the photo and then I had to clone stamp the ground to make it blend in and remain focused. I purpsely positioned it so that her hand is on its ear and the squirrel looks bigger than her.


For the other one, I wanted to make it look like she was laying down on the ground, but actually she is standing up leaning against a pole. I simply rotated the picture so that it looks realistsc.

For this one, I changed the color of the stars in the neckalce from black to purple. I think this looks good cause the background has a greeny yellow color to it and the twp colors are complementry.

I Edited this photo to black & white and then changed to color of my nails using different layers.



I edited this photo to make it into a triad with the colors blue, green and red. They all pop out alot and create a vibrant and happy mood.

Gradient







I layered basic pictures of people and then layed then layered them with plants. In the one it looks like she is almost climbing up the plant and the one of the boy is layered with a flower. I like this technique and I think it makes the pictures look really cool.

On the first one I Posterized it and then did the yellow and dark blue gradient. On the second one I just gradiented it with blue orange yellow and purple. I then arrowed down, and used the "color".

I just expieremented with inverting and using levels. I did a little polarization for the first photo also. I like this technique and i think it makes the picture look very different.

The first one is vintage. I put a yellow color by adding a filter to the photo, and i adjusted the colors using curves. The second one is the grainy one. I added a smart filter and then used the noise filter. It is suttle but makes a difference. The last one is the high contrast. I adjusted the vibrance and hue & saturation and also used the curves. I like the vintage and high contrast ones the best. The grainy one just looks bad to me.

Theme Illistrator

My theme is hands. For the editing of this photo I sharpened it using High Pass and then turned it to black and white and changed some of the curves. When adding text to it, I wrote "where you stand and think of going no further." I put this on my photo because that was a quote that was written on the bridge that this photo was taken from. I am proud of this photo and i think it looks great!
