Framing
I wanted to incorporate Yao Lu’s style of framing and cropping the image because I like how it is different to the standard rectangular shape and adds a different aspect to the image. I used the Elliptical marquee tool to cut out a circle from the original image and transferred it onto a new plain A4 document.
Photo Montage
A photomontage is made of an assembly of photographs cut and glued together physically or digitally, giving a photo a different appearance, by rearranging and overlapping photos to create a new photo.
Before editing my photos onto the landscape I used adjustments to change the lighting to match each other. I used the quick selection tool to select what I wanted from the singular photos of the fishing nets and copied and pasted them onto the circular photo. I then used the lasso tool to clean up the edges and get rid of the parts I did not want.
Colour Adjustments
I adjusted the Hue so that the green and blue tones were warmer and appeared more red and yellow because I think that this works better than the original colouring of the image.
Final Outcomes
When the prints arrive I would like to cut them into perfect circles and present them all together as small circles in a square or in a row on the same board, rather than being on separate boards or individually framed.
