mock exam final image #3

For my third image, I went to Bouley Bay old hotel and took many photos. I went to this location because I believe derelict buildings are very good places to go to for a photoshoot because there is many things you can take photos of and many things you can do to the image when editing, such as, compare them to when the building was in use.

Original photo

Firstly, I chose one of my favourite images out of 60 and exported it into lightroom to edit the images contrast, texture, exposure and changed it to black and white.

To further develop this edit I cut-out around myself and duplicated and made a layer. Then I did that another 4 times to create 4 cut-outs of myself and further develop this edit.

Next, I lined up all the cut-outs of me next to the actual image of me and thought about how I could make this image look better.

For the first cut-out I changed the opacity to 60%. For the second cut-out I changed the opacity to 40%. For the third cut-out I changed the opacity to 28%. And for the final cut-out I changed the opacity to 20% to create an effect of lack of identity due to the model slowly fading away and showing no skin.

For the final step I added a small feature of a ghost like hand pressing up against the widow to the right of the image. I did this to create a sense of darkness and evil so it can slightly confuse the viewer.
