Secrets, Codes and Conventions – Selection and Editing

These are the final three images that I have shortlisted for my final presentation for the externally set assignment. I definitely want to incorporate all three of these photographs into my final presentation but I like the landscape images better and don’t think that the portrait photograph will fit in very well. Because of this I want to photoshop the photographs in order to incorporate it into one of the landscape images.

I decided to incorporate it into the photograph with the gates in it as the shape of the photograph fitted the shape of the gates suitably. I started off by placing the portrait photograph over the gate and then I changed the opacity of the photograph from 100% to 45% so that the gates behind the photograph would show through and the portrait photograph would merge into the landscape photograph.

Below is the final composition of the edit, to me this reflects how many different paths and areas there are to the subway, and the different secret passages that are unknown/out of bounds to the majority of people.
