LO4 - Evidence of editing

Edit 1

Process of editing photo 

After

When I was editing my photos I wanted to create the effect of two of the same object or even two mirrored worlds were colliding with one another to create the distorted/ripple effect on the image.  I did this by duplicating the fountain and rotating them to look as if the two are colliding. I then used the wave tool to give the fountains the distorted feel, I wanted them to have that effect so that they would fit the surrealist movement.

 When i edited this i removed the sky and added the photo of the fountains and then added a glow to the bottom of the photo in order to give the skyline a weird or somewhat holy outline, I did this in order for the photo to fit in with the surrealist movement.

When i was editing this photo I wanted to have the water stand out from everything else in the photo in order to convey that the water was the only thing in the photo filled with life. So i created a new layer in order to separate the background and the water. I then used the saturation tool in order to make the water more colourful and the background darker.

The editing techniques I have used in this are contrast, saturation blur and curves. I separated the model from the background in order to edit him separately from the background. The meaning I wanted to convey with this photo was that the subject was suffering I achieved this by darkening the subject while making the outside world seem more alive and brighter so the two focal points contrast one another.

The editing techniques I have used in this are layering, filters contrast and curves. I firstly removed the sky in the original photo as i wanted to replace that with a different photo to give the idea that you were looking into a different place or two worlds were colliding. I then chose a photo of peace gardens as i feel this would contrast well with the original photo.
