LO3 - Planning to edit my photos

When i am editing my photos i am going to be following in the style of the surrealist movement. Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was, above all, a revolutionary movement. I will try to incorporate many of these features into my work in order to give my photos a weird side to them.

I will use techniques such as layering, scale, levitation, tranparency and transformation in order to fit my photos into the surrealist style. I will also manipulate features such as saturation and contrast in order to further extend my photos into the style of surrealism. I feel that this will help improve my unedited photos as in some the colours were rather dull and not much may have been happening in them so by using surrealist techniques i feel they will be improved.
