Anthropocene- photoshoot 2 – editing + experimentation

experimentation

I used coloured filters over the lights to create bright colour with little to no editing- whilst I don’t think these images are effective on their own together they compliment each other.

Vilde Rolfsens – plastic bag landscape
I experimented with adjusting the colour grading of an image to look like the colour gradients in Vilde Rolfsens work. I made sure to use analogous colours going in a scale to blend easily between shades but with enough of a change in hues to be visually interesting.
I experimented with high contrast black and white- however I preferred the colours as it emphasised the unnatural plastic.

Editing

I adjusted the contrast and tones to create more dramatic lighting to highlight the transparency of the plastic. I also used colour grading to switch to blue highlights as it gave a cooler less yellow light.

created a group of three to compliment each other.
Prefer this compositionally but find the lighting less effective.

Again switched colour grading highlights to blue to keep cohesive- I think the portraiture dominates the images making them less effective for the focus being plastic.

Green streak stands out against skin tone creating a division with the plastic.
Focusing more on contrast to emphasise the silhouette. – looks too horror movie esc decided it wasn’t subtle enough.
