experiment 1 for personal study:

After having completed my first photoshoot I decided to play around with some of the images that I took.

These images I used an app on my iPhone called PicsArt. This edit allowed me to manipulate a somewhat cartoon line drawing over each of the portraits I have explored. I did this because I want to bring in artistic elements to create a more visual and exciting image. For some of my next edits I am going to explore a range of material and sources in photoshop and other apps I may find to create blurred effect as my book will go on.

I played around with the images above in photoshop as well to see if I could create this old, edgy and faint look. As the images are a few years old i wanted to contrast them with a photo that is more up to date.

My final outcome with this experiment is below:

In photoshop I used the opacity tool to create this blurry effect.
Although, I may not use this in my final outcomes for the book, I have taken inspiration from Diana Markosian who did something quite similar with images of her dad, mum and her. I experimented using the cutting tool and for my next attempt will most likely try using the blurring tool so you can still see aspects of his face.
