Below are some experiments that I did with my work inspired by Keld Helmer Petersen, to achieve this style of photo i used Photoshop, I began by firstly cropping the images to get rid of any negative space and improve the composition of my photos, i then used the threshold tool to make the images only two tones of white and black.
