DAY 1

MY INSPIRATION: lara gilks ‘beneath the ice’

CONTACT SHEETS:

Here I deleted the photos that didn’t come out well or ones I didn’t need to edit.

STAGES ON PHOTOSHOP:

FIRST ATTEMPT:

For these images I used Photoshop to adjust the colours of the original photos. I used Lara Gilks ‘beneath the ice’. On photoshop I changed each photos brightness and contrasts and then I added an image of steamed glass and lowered the opacity to give the same effect as Lara Gilks photos have.

SECOND ATTEMPT:

I wasn’t happy with the first attempt because the edits came out with a soft faded colour and wouldn’t look good when printed so I used the curves on Photoshop to add more depth to the photos.

DAY 2

For these two photos I used 3 different photos and lowered the opacity and merged them together for a multi/double exposure.

EXPERIMENTS

FINAL PIECE

GALLERY: artsteps

COMPARISON

I tried my best to make the photos similar to the artists ones

EVALULATION

What went well: I really liked how my first photos came out because I really liked the idea of how Lara gilks beneath the ice looked and how the models looks like they are trapped under ice. Instead of using a steamed glass in the bathroom like she did I used images off the internet and put them on photoshop and lowered the opacity. They turned out well as I was expecting

Critique: With my second photoshoot I didn’t have any inspiration or artists I had in mind, I could of spent a bit more time on having a artist reference.
