Photos selection

Before our NFT video we did a shoot inspiring of Cindy Sherman and Lissa Rivera. Those are the images I have chosen. I choose those images because I feel that there are a mixt of the two artists. The picture in itself looks like a picture from a 50s movie it kind of reminds me of Hedy Lamarr’s iconic picture from the movie Ziegfeld Girl in 1941. She has a similar floe white dress, she stares into space and looks powerful. The strong yellow in the curtains reminds me of the colours that Lissa Rivera use in her pictures, it highlights the model. The dress again very floe reminds me of the kind of dresses Lissa Rivera use.

Even if I really liked this image, it needed some modification like the cars behind, the reflection of the lights and I wanted it to be brighter. To modify the image I used Photoshop, I start by using the dodge tool which helps lighten areas on the picture, I used it to lighten the dress, make it brighter. Something that really bothered me was the reflection of the light on the windows and the cars behind, I had to get rid of that. I managed to do it thanks to the spot healing brush tool which removes marks and imperfections. The problem with this tool is that I also erase the ends of the white curtains, so so that it does not show I used the blur tool which blurs areas on the image. To finish I selected the curtains and then I played with the brightness and the contrast

Final result
