edited photos draft

the comparison of the original vs edited

  • here  I have decided to use the pencil tool on Photoshop and draw the creases which where on the paper so it could bring out the shadows on the paper and also on the self.
  • I think that the lines are effect because it brings out the details within the picture.
  • i think that it is a good comparison to the original as it shows the difference on the details and the shadows that the paper ball produces.

Contact Sheet 1

Contact Sheets

  • A contact sheet is a series of images put together so show the changes and it can help with the selection process as you can see the images which does work, the ones you need to crop or the favorite ones.
  •  the first contact sheet was used in the late 1900s by several photography for example:
  • Philippe Halsman: Dali Atomicus, 1948, he was well known  and captures something of the surrealist spirit of his work.
  • Leonard Freed: Police work, 1978, he worked for Sunday Times on a story on violence in New York. Freed’s initial shoot took a wide swipe at the theme, but London got in touch and told him to find, “more blood and gore”. So he went out and photographed more than 50 murders.
  • This is my contact sheet of the the paper challenge we needed to do.

Paper Photography

This blog post includes my most satisfactory edits from the shoots I did which were inspired by Martin Creed. In most of the photos I decreased the lighting to create a cooler tone, to emphasis the whiteness of the paper in comparison to the dark black paper or dark green grass. The focal point of each photo was the paper as I wanted to centralize it just like Creed.I felt that the black background really helped with my focal point whereas the pictures with a white background didn’t but on the other hand the shadows created by the light worked nicely with the white and lighter background as it added layers to the photo. For the later photos on the grass I had to think about positioning due to the use of the sun as my natural lighting, I had to ensure I didn’t create a shadow myself as they would have covered the paper balls shadow which I was trying to make by moving it into different angles.
