My Edits

In order to create these edits, I lowered the saturation of my images and increased the contrast which allowed me to have even white, black and grey tones throughout my photos and prepare for the next stage of editing. Then, I used the threshold tool on photoshop in order to get rid of the grey tones and make my photo purely black and white and I adjusted as I needed to get my final edits.
