ORIGINALS:

The original, images witch I have created do have the intended “nostalgic” feel to them with the use of film within the photoshoots. In order to add some points of contrast and interest it would be suitable to do some editing with them, wether that be adding filters or using various other editing techniques in order to create further meaning within these images.

In order to carry forward this theme, I will continue to use film throughout my other photo shoots as this will fit in well with the theme of my photo book which I intend to make by hand. I feel as though these images belong in a medium which isn’t perfect and printed by a machine as it would contrast too much with the images. The themes which I am tackling with these images also tie together with poverty meaning that it would only be appropriate that the book is no made in a way which is clean and sharp.

INTENT/EFFECT:

As the graininess and warmth nature are two aspects which I enjoy a lot about the photos and think is very effective, I have firstly played around with a simple trace and drag technique to the images. With these edits, I have simply traced around the images and dragged the outlines slightly to the sides in order for them to be clearly viewed. I find that this was very effective in terms of adding another point of interest to the images. These lines provoke ideas of fragility and childhood as they are rugged and un neat. As I intend to work in a similar way as the photos in the photo book “red string”, these messy edits would fit in perfectly with the theme, giving them a hand made feel with the imperfect line work.
