I decided to edit 3 of my favourite photographs from the MINOR WHITE inspired photoshoot, to look similar to his.

photograph one

When editing this photograph, I changed the levels to enhance the blacks, midtones and lights. I did this because MINOR WHITES photographs have intense contrasts, which is caused by dramatic blacks and whites. I then decreased the saturation, could make the photograph black and white. Overall I find this photograph to be very similar to one of MINOR WHITES photographs (shown below), which was what I wanted.

I see these 2 photographs to be similar, because of the light obtruding from the clouds and how it scatters is captured in both mine and WHITES photograph. Also both photograph have intense contrasts too.

photograph two

When editing this photograph, I also changed the levels to dramatise the darks and lights. I made sure that when I changed the levels of the photograph that I didn’t over-expose it or under-expose it either. I balanced the levels so that the photograph looked just right, and that the same structure of the clouds were kept too. I then also decreased the saturation to create a black and white look. Even though MINOR WHITE did not take photographs solely of clouds, I still feel it was inspired by WHITE, because of how dramatic it looks.

photograph three

When editing this photograph, I yet again changed the levels, meaning I could select either the darks, midtones or lights and individually change them to benefit the aesthetics of the photograph. If I were to edit this photograph again, I would definitely increase the lights to make sure that all tones were included, which would make it even more similar to WHITES photographs. I then decreased the saturation to turn it into black and white.
