photoshop; tone and contrast

Leave a comment

What is photoshop

This is to alter (a photographic image) digitally using image-editing software.It is done to exaggerate or dramatic change an image to connote and exaggerate a feel that wants to be expressed or brought forward to the audience. 

How I achieved and edited  my images

I achieved my images Using photoshop I wanted to developing deepening tone and texture to exaggeration depth  within the image using layers.

Firstly I started off by inserting the image into photoshop in order to deepen the saturation and develop a more grip feel and not use the colour as a distraction for the image and circulation with patterns and line within the piece itself. Using the Crop tool, you can trim edges, change the shape and size of a photo, and even straighten a crooked line  or the shape within the leaf. Furthermore  Enhanced  the quality and Brighten the photo and make its quality and highlights  pop using adjustment layers.  After layering the image ignorer to edit different aspect to then eventually flatten this image. I went onto a bast in order to move the saturation and so developing the colour to deepen the effect. I wanted to still be able to see sources of colour to not completely inveterate the colour within the leaf.I then costume the colours in a grain setting so would be able to accurately develop the colours and cancel out all the extras vibrancy that I did not want in my image. Finally I Convert color to black and white, add an old-fashioned tinted look, and play with focus using the Tilt-Shift Blur filter.

You can see the tool bars here in which I dimmed the saturation and colour to depth the image but also allowing the tone range from very black inner leaf to a progressive lighter leaf. You can also see the layers through the photo and how the custom levels about to be set to green to develop a deeper tone relevant to the piece.

Second edit

Third and Best Edit

Overall this images now more effective as a whole and creates  a better presence and does not direct form the image itself.It create s larger impact overall through the image and displays a larger impact of space and authority.

Tone and Contrast

Contrast is a measure of the difference in brightness between light and dark areas in a scene. This reflects a scene with significant contrast , whereas narrow lens reflect less  contrast and may appear flat or dull. This can be caused by any combination of subject matter and lighting conditions.The is a great importance due to colour will only work effectively due to a good contrast.However countless images have been seen in black and white using this is a tangible element of compostion

Tone may consist of shadings from white-to-gray-to-black, or it may consist of darks against lights with little or no grays. The use of dark areas against light areas is a common method of adding the feeling of a third dimension to a two-dimensional black-and-white picture.This is also highly significant to the tonal range within the tone system

Tanja Demain And Johnny Briggs Photographer

Leave a comment

Recently there was an exhibition for Johnny Briggs,how work was mainly surrounding the inspiration of his life growing up and the impact fro within his family life and also his fathers voice.So he uses  photography to explore my relationship with deception, the constructed reality of the family, and question the boundaries between his parents and himself , between child/adult, self/other, nature/culture, real/fake in attempt to revive my unconditioned self. He is also inspired by many different effects of war and how in the modern day he can represent an underlining aftermath of the holocaust and how it also effects jerseys history as a whole. In his pieces you can see many mouths and lipstick in order to demonstrate how to be quite and as a metaphor to be shut out.Th lipstick also represents how something designed to enhance beauty and also portrays no speech and a substance that you do not want to touch to cause an impact of smudging of ruining a relationship .Here are some examples of his own work.Within the makings of his work he also likes to produce it relativity rather than using Photoshop to create an almost illusion.

Tanja Deman’s art is inspired by her interest in the perception of space and her relationship to nature. Demain,is a photographer inspired by many natural works and also how some of these monumental industrial building can fit into other scenarios in order to demonstrate a demand for attention and significance.She explains how she knows where she wants to explore but it is nature and whatever she can develop informant of her that inspires her to make her art.She is also interest in Observing recently built legacy or natural sites her work investigates the sociology of space and reflects dynamics hidden under the surface of both the built and natural environment. Many of her new artworks are inspired by taking them underwater to develop a relationship with the movement of water and lighting and to capture the perfect atmosphere that is also the most uncovered and unexplored part of the world,so inspired her to further look into what she uncover,almost as  a mystery to herself.
